Have you ever seen one of these in your neighborhood? This is a Little Free Library - a free book-sharing box where anyone may take a book or give a book.

These libraries function on an honor system, so you can snag a book that interests you and bring that or a different book back at any time. Today there are more than 100,000 registered Little Free Libraries in 108 countries worldwide. 

Our country is facing a literacy crisis. More than 30 million adults cannot read or write above a third-grade level, and two out of three children living in poverty have no books to call their own. Access to reading material shouldn’t be limited by time, space, or privilege. Let’s change the narrative by bringing free books closer to home.
