Little Free Libraries

I first learned about Little Free Libraries when I read this article at Madison.com. It sounded like such an amazing idea that I knew I had to be involved somehow. I rent an apartment, so it wasn't feasible for me to get a Little Library and put it in the front yard quite yet. I did the next best thing: I donated as many extra copies of The Teashop Girls as I could to Little Libraries around Madison. I'm thrilled by the concept and excited that so many other people are too (including author Ann M. Martin, who wrote The Babysitters Club series and the new book Ten Rules for Living with My Sister). If you're looking for a terrific way to connect with your neighbors, I highly recommend building your own "LFL," or going to http://www.littlefreelibrary.org to learn more about acquiring one for your neck of the woods. Here is the Little Free Library at my dentist's office...so cute!

  3. I love this idea! It reminds me of some things people do in Portland, OR, my hometown.
