They have an interactive map to find nearby little free libraries near you. You can use their map here.
In my neighborhood, there are several of these “little free libraries” in people’s yards. I’ve always thought that it was a very cool idea!
We set one up at the front of our yard years ago and I love having it! I try to keep a good stock of kids, romance, and fantasy in it as that seems to be the name for our neighborhood.
So it’s an organization/brand? I thought it was just something that some homeowners like to do, not an official thing.
Yes and no. Not everybody knows about this organization and lists the library they made on this map, but most do!
I like these things. Had no idea there was an organisation involved.
Fun fact: you can get them in Animal Crossing. You can buy them straight up, or make them — the availability of the crafting recipe, or the item being available in the shop, however, is completely random. And they don’t “do” anything. They’re just a decoration. I like having one on my island near my houses though, or maybe up by the museum, but my current character has neither the recipe nor the actual item. One of those things that, if I get the recipe/item, I’ll definitely put one out.
Thanks for the map, I see the one in my immediate neighborhood is not listed but there are two others within an easy walk!
I’ll have to let them know
I did always wonder what the goals and protocols were. Can I donate to one or respect their choices of content? Am I acting suspicious if I stand there to “browse the stacks” and see if there is anything that interests me?

Literally all those things are encouraged! It’s in fact expected for others to donate, because otherwise the library would slowly empty itself out through attrition/non-returns.
