Little Free Libraries in our Yards

Imagine walking down Charlotte or York Street and seeing a box on someone's lawn with a "Little Free Library" sign on the front. You can't resist opening the door and browsing the selection of books inside. The sign clearly invites you to "take one and return one in exchange". 

This delightful approach to a community book exchange first appeared in a Los Angeles Times news story about three years ago. The Little Free Library concept has since spread across the US and around the world thanks to book lovers who want to share their passion with their communities.

This is just the type of walking-friendly idea that brings neighbours together and one the city of Fredericton could certainly embrace. All it takes is ONE person to start a movement. What are you waiting for?

There's one on Robby's Road off Route 655 near the junction with 101.

Apparently there are a few of these around the Fredericton area now. if you have one, you can register it at http://littlefreelibrary.org/ and it will appear on their location map.
