Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading, builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world.
Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
Each ‘library’ is free and open to the public. Each offers a selection of books for passersby to take, and will have space for the community to participate by leaving or exchanging books of their own at each little free library.
Little Free Libraries play an essential role by providing 24/7 access to books (and encouraging a love of reading!) in areas where books are scarce.
Every Little Free Library is uniquely crafted and filled with an exclusive array of books, different every time. Read about the history behind the LittleFreeLibrary here, and enjoy our selection of some of the most recently shared LittleFreeLibraries on Instagram below:
Have you ever seen one of these little book houses along your walk or drive and wondered what it could be there for? Don’t be shy – if you ever see one, you are encouraged to borrow a book! Find a map of every Little Free Library in your town here, and share your own Litte Free Library finds in the comments below!

This is an awesome project. I’d love to be able to be involved with something like this in Bucharest! Something to dream about 🙂

We have one of these in Madisonville , Ky city park. It is awesome because kids will take out books to read and then replace them or put new in. It’s like the whole city shares all their favourite books.

These are so cool! I’ve only come across one–and it didn’t have any books I was interested in–but I love the idea of making books more accessible in neighborhoods where perhaps the people can’t always get to a library.

I’ve noticed several of these throughout Pasadena and it makes my heart so happy! I can’t wait for the day I own a house so I can install a Little Free Library

Me too! HAHA I there are so many great examples to borrow from, too. I can spend hours browsing the Instagram feeds, searching for inspiration!
