Thirty-six hours after the Kickstarter project went live, it was featured as â??Staff Pick: Project of the Dayâ?? and achieved its funding goal within 8 hours. The campaign was successfully funded on October 9, 2013 by 65 generous backers! We finished and installed our structure on December 11, 2013 and have named our library "Skookum Reads!" We've also created a blog dedicated to sharing resources on literacy, learning, and community.

It was inspired by Tim & Amy Salmon of Milwaukee, Wisconsin who visited the museum in the spring of 2014 and by the encouragement of the museum director's wife, Deirdre. This LFL was built by the museum's director from a discarded side table built to resemble an antique ice box. The initial books were donated by the museum's volunteers.

My husband gave helpful hints and only helped me with the door. I am so excited about this because I'm always driving into town to the library and buying books from Friends of the Library. This will be out in the country and I look forward to exchanging books. I also love giving books away to people for baby showers and to my nieces and nephew and to friends at church. I always have an over abundance of books. I love books (my dad was a publisher!)! My goal is for the library to be bilingual English and Spanish. There are already some Spanish 776424447 N.

I thought it was wonderful and took the idea to my book club CHiLLS. We decided we need something a little bigger for our neighborhood. Julie Murphy and I came up with what we wanted it to look like and I asked my dad Erich Booth to build it. Lisa Flavin Kathryn Staphylaris Elizabeth Upshaw Angie Prosser Julie Murphy and I painted it. We had a ribbon curtting last night and the Library is FULL!

Our mission, in part, is to be charitable and educational, a "GREENHOUSE FOR THE MIND". While we do have a public library in our town, we also have many people who cannot use the library, and so this is why we are providing a LFL in our center. We are not trying to compete with the public library, 252 S.

Inspired by a story about Little Free Libraries in Rotary International's publication, it was decided that our community needed its own LFL. We reinforced and improved a shelving unit in the shape of a canoe, added weatherproofing and began circulating books. We have a tremendous number of weekend guests to our part of the lake and hope the LFL will motivate 1251533796 S 4506 Road Afton OK United States 74331others to have their own libraries. 36.5285847 -94.9768354 This little free library is located at the corner of Colleton and Charleston Streets (261 Charleston Street).

We started by building a cardboard model and then transferred the final design measurements to wood. Among our design features are a steel covered roof made by a roofing contractor in Amish country in Holmes County with donated labor. We included plexiglass windows on two sides and the front door of the library. The door is hinged and held open with gas struts. The door is held closed with magnets. The books we've collected have come from neighbors and school teacher friends as well as donations from others who admire the idea. They include books for kids and adults and are both fiction and nonfiction.

As lovers of reading and owners of many books - including many duplicate books for babies and children - we wanted to share our bounty with our friends and neighbors.

Both are avid readers and love imagining the possibilities of recycling. The box itself was crafted from an old cabinet and building materials found at Patricia's house. Observing the turnover of books has been fascinating; the comments from visitors show 16105340 Lincoln Ave Alameda ca United States 94501appreciation for our project. 37.775149 -122.286142 When it came time to tear down an old redwood fence in our backyard, we decided that a Little Free Library would be a perfect reuse of the old wood and a great way to enable neighborhood engagement and exchange of favorite books. There were no other LFLs in Alameda at the time, and we were unsure how it would work, but it's been a rousing success. A largely anonymous group of users rotate offerings on a semi-regular basis, providing ample chances for finding gems 21151024 Taylor Avenue Alameda CA United States 94501waiting on the shelves. 37.771886 -122.266937 Our Little Free Library is made from a recycled Newspaper dispenser we acquired, it has a shelf for paperbacks to sit flat above hardback books lined below.

As a volunteer for Imagination Library of Crockett County and lover of literature, Shannon thought it would be amazing to have one for young readers in Alamo, TN. She asked her grandfather Tom Mooney to build one as her Christmas present. He built a beautiful Little Free Library and presented it Christmas of 2013. The Alamo City School board agreed to have it located on their school campus and it was dedicated as a part of the Read Across 12419265 East Park Street Alamo TN United States 38001America week in March of 2014. 35.7834509 -89.1125927 The Electric Pig Library is located beside the Sunset Run Restaurant on the McDonald Farm.

It will eventually be decorated with "windows" featuring various literary character tenants of 116851112 Curtis Street Albany CA United States 94706the building. 37.884332 -122.289146 As someone who loves libraries, having a Little Free Library was a birthday wish list item that was fulfilled by my husband Paul and Daughter Kayla. After buying the kit and painting it we dedicated it and invited neighbors as well as the staff of the Albany Public Library located 1.5 blocks from our home. 7 of the library staff came, along with about 20 neighbors! We had tea & biscotti, gave away bookmarks that I designed, explained how the library works, and had people leave comments in the "Library Book" which includes a notebook and stickers. People brought books to leave in the new library and I'm excited to see it become a part of the community. I also have a "Quote Tree" next to the library where people can read and 13423822 Evelyn Avenue Albany CA United States 94706add inspirational quotes. 37.891905 -122.295164 41781506 Sonoma Ave. Albany CA USA 94706 37.887386 -122.28633 My whole family has always loved books.

The Library itself was built by Albemarle High School's 12839211 Northeast Connector Albemarle NC United States 28002cabinetmaking class. 35.3857323 -80.1916456 This is the first permanent Little Free Library in Albemarle. I built it and my wife painted the scenes on it. We "seeded" it with some of our books and some purchased used books (particularly children's). We have not done anything yet to publicize it.

We have met many new friends in the neighborhood as a result of the library. Our grandchildren and nieces and nephews are fans, and have spread the word to their friends 143017438 Riverton Drive NW Albuquerque New Mexico United States 87120as well. 35.168461 -106.686275 4162601 Ortiz NE Albuquerque New Mexico US 87108 35.082823 -106.585603 We fell in love with the concept of The Little Free Library when our grandson's mom posted pictures of theirs in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

My mother would read to me before bedtime and after she turned off the lights, I would get the book and my flashlight, then pull the covers over my head so I could keep reading. When I was contacted to see if I would consider hosting a library, I jumped at the opportunity. It was both a chance to share my love of reading as well as justify having saved so many books for so many years. It gives me such joy when I see 16583520 Dakota ST SE Albuquerque NM United States 87108books cycle in and out of my Little Free Library. 35.070082 -106.573838 Fun.... book quotes...

Our neighborhood is the perfect place to make available books for all ages. After asking my neighbor Roger if he would build the library he went to work making his own design to be modeled after our home. His work was amazing and it will protect the books shared through this Little Free Library for many years to come.

I volunteer with various programs that provide free books for children, and I'm a longtime Bookcrosser (www.bookcrossing.com). I had wanted a Little Free Library from the moment I heard about them, but I lack the skills to build one, and I couldn't afford to buy one. Madeline, a Bookcrosser in my local group, had just started her own LFL; her husband Jose built it for her. When she told Jose that I wanted one too, he offered to build it. He even designed it to look like my house! He and my husband installed it, and LFL#9136 was in business. As soon as I filled my new LFL with books, the neighbors began stopping by to take and donate some. Within a few days, it had become a popular neighborhood fixture. Several times a week, children knock on my door to request specific books!

We decided to add it because we have many families with children that come to our green area to relax, play, or listen to music, that it seem a perfect offering to provide them with access to books. We wanted the library design to fit in with the area landscape that we chose to build it from a fallen log.

This year, the 4-H Leadersâ?? Association challenged area clubs to participate in a countywide service learning project to promote literacy. Therefore the Mill Creek club took on a new adventure and constructed four â??Little Free Libraries.â?? Deb and Randy Rotering( the leaders for the club) organized the building and placement of the libraries. They also led the project that has been organized over the past 8 months. The Mill Creek 4-H members enjoyed giving these 7166230 North State Road 35 Alma WI United States 54610libraries to our community. 44.3210879 -91.9150516 11971Antilopestraat 21 Almere Flevoland Netherlands 1338KP 52.3847226 5.2776892 24920109 W.

The glass door is a 1920's era window from the Habitat for Humanity Restore. The handle is made of antique wooden thread spools. The library sits in front of the Florecita Farm Store where oranges and eggs were sold from 1920 until 1948 when the store was remodeled into a 37273405 Florecita Dr. Altadena CA United States 91001home. 34.203814 -118.163449 204403319 Fair Oaks Ave Altadena CA United States 91001 34.201772 -118.144408 Our library is made of red oak and decorated with wooden books painted with titles of some of our favorites and some iconic titles.

Being a retired Language Arts teacher, I have a passion for sharing the gift of books. Always being supportive of me, my dad took on this project. He researched different LFL designs, built a cardboard mock-up, sought out recycled materials, and designed a schoolhouse to honor my years as a teacher. My dad's creation is wonderful and so appreciate the time and love he spent constructing my LFL.

My family decided to share our love of reading with our community through a Little Free Library. I selected many of my favorite books for the initial opening and taped my typed comments in the front of each book stating why each book is a favorite. I decided to paint the library green and red (Christmas colors) as a gentle reminder to our patrons that reading is a gift. 1618717801 Broad Meadow Drive Amelia Virginia United States 23002This has been a fun and exciting project! 37.3446483 -78.0163195 This is the Friendly By Nature LFL with trim painted brown. Notice all the critters including frogs reading books to make it more fun for little ones. The LFL has been up about 6 weeks and is getting lots of use from neighborhood kids. More use is anticipated once school is out for the summer. Books are traded out weekly and an extra tub of books is kept under the bench because the library is so small. The LFL has picture books including lots of Caldecott winners - chapter books with lots of Newbery winners - magazines - religious books - science and history books - and anything else that shows up. Seasonal books will be put out for holidays - for example US history picture & 4794749 North 650 East American Fork UT USA 84003chapter books for the 4th of July. 40.392605 -111.781371 6668809 Carroll Ave. Ames IA United States 50010 42.029309 -93.609211 The Little Free Library at Ebenezer House was built in December 2013 as a Christmas present.

Setting up a Little Free Library seemed like a natural extension of our community involvement -- plus they are very cool. We painted ours in the local university colors, so it really catches the eye. It was a group effort with my spouse and our neighbor 105631309 Iowa Circle Ames Iowa United States 50014helping with construction and installation. 42.034954 -93.659725 This LFL is placed by a retirement community, but on the edge of our campus. Here it is available to walkers, bikers, and drivers in the surrounding neighborhoods and a hotel that hosts conferences for guests at our local university, Iowa State. We hope that many readers will enjoy it. We also have included children's books, because families stay in the 110862339 Green Hills Drive Ames Iowa United States 50014hotel and live in the neighborhoods. 42.0012459 -93.644577 Our town started asking itself why LFLs were only located in "better" parts. We challenged ourselves to make Little Free Libraries available wherever there are kids, and especially kids with fewer resources than others. This is the first of others LFLs to be planted in low-income neighborhoods and trailer parks in the Ames area. It is located directly outside the transitional housing program of our homeless shelter, where families stay for a year while they get on their feet.

When we painted the living room we had to relocate scores of her books. Rather than put them back we decided to share them.

I built it so that folks traveling our neighborhood, and most certainly my immediate neighbors, could all have the opportunity to browse and trade books, or possibly to find that one book they've been meaning to read or just to pass along as a gift. This Little Free Library was built for my partner in life, Margi. She can be the most gregarious person and she firmly believes that true community is realized through interaction with other humans beings. This is just one of the many reasons I love my Margi.

I mainly taught struggling readers during my almost 40 year teaching career. I live in a rural area where there are many older folks who rarely drive into town, and therefore, rarely visit the library. I live next door to the water district office which serves as a hub for community information. It made sense to install a Little Free Library outside this office. The office is located between the two local schools. This LFL 230555880 Oak St. Anderson CA United States 96007will provide books for young and old. 40.456344 -122.454942 This is the first LFL in Madison County, Indiana.

I wholeheartedly believe in the magic of stories. We learn about ourselves and others from characters in books and we can enjoy an escape to another location through books. I am extremely fond of cozy mysteries set in small towns or English villages where a crime is commmitted but justice is served and good conquers evil. I love to promote my love of mysteries so I stocked the "Cozy Corner" LFL with quite a few cozies. I learned about LFL in early 2011 and wanted one ever since. My husband surprised me for Christmas 2012 with the incredible gift of a LFL! He supports my passion for books and passing along the gift of reading.

We focused on keeping it within the character of our home and the surrounding homes in our neighborhood. Just a few blocks from the campus of the University of Michigan, lots of people (students, kids, professors, and vagabonds) can be found walking by our home daily. As for the library, outside is weathered barn wood that has been left in it's natural condition with a little varnish to protect it. Inside, salvaged oak plank flooring, pine breadboard, and fine wood rafters can be found. A chalkboard for quick messages and an extra shelf help separate books. The exterior door and windows are salvaged cedar and the roof reclaimed cement board with our support post a reclaimed post. Finally the wooden handle on the door is from an old dresser that was sitting around and fit perfectly (compliments of Steve). Within 10 minutes of it being settled in, we had neighbors dropping off books and kids opening the door to explore. We hope people find it a happy place where our community can continue to share the love of reading we all have and explore the diverse 147181617 Brooklyn Ave Ann Arbor MI United States 48104world of good literature as we watch from our 42.263969 -83.725984
