Little Free Library

Dodge Flower's very own Little Free Library

Have you visited the community lending library, also called a Little Free Library, at 2718 N. Winstel? The owners built it because they had seen others around town and loved the concept.

It is a "Take a book. Leave a book." library with books for both adults and children. There is a fairy village below. The fairies love to have their home investigated and don't mind photos if you can catch them. BUT, be mindful if you visit the fairy village. There are some fierce biting ants guarding the fairies.

A Little Free Library is a free book exchange for sharing books within a community. The mission of a Little Free Library is;

to promote literacy and the love of reading.
to build a sense of community.

Book donations are welcome and appreciated, children's book in particular. Children's books are hard to keep in stock, since some children do not have books to trade or very many books in their home, so the books become gifts.

Little Free Libraries is a nonprofit community movement in the US and worldwide that offers free books housed in small containers to members of the local community. It was founded in Hudson, Wisconsin by Todd Bol as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Todd mounted a wooden container designed to look like a school house on a post on his lawn. The idea has spread rapidly, so that there are 90,000 registered Little Free Library book-sharing boxes in 91 countries worldwide.
