What began as a tribute to his late mother sparked a global movement. In 2009, Todd Bol built a small book-filled box to honor her legacy as a devoted teacher. Intended to share stories with neighbors, his simple act of love unexpectedly ignited a worldwide book-sharing initiative.

That modest box became the first Little Free Library — and it inspired thousands more. Today, over 200,000 Little Free Libraries offer free, 24/7 access to books, and help bring communities together. Discover how it all began — and how you can start one in your own neighborhood.

NOTICE- we are not accepting book donations at this time - we are in the process of cleaning out the library - we seem to have become a dumping ground from the unwanted books from the town wide garage sales ! I hate to complain but it’s now a lot of work for me to sort through the cast offs and expensive as I now have to pay to have the trash company haul them away! In the future please keep the following rules in mind:

Please make sure all items are in like-new condition and are items you would purchase again.

Like-new means:
Covers are intact no odors not chewed on
haven’t been wet not stained didn’t need to be dusted off first
not stored in your basement

We do not accept:
encyclopedias textbooks videotapes (VHS)
magazines Readers Digest Books cassette tapes cook books
vinyl records toys/games

If you wouldnt purchase tgem again, its ok to put tgem in your refuse bin

NOTE- if you have books in good condition please consider donating to the Kirkland Library book sale - they are accepting donations in resale condition until Jun 20th or consider putting a few in the other LFL around the area
