Example of a Little Free Library. www.littlefreelibrary.orgPlease consider contibuting to the Little Free Library that neighbor Philip Vahab is setting up on the 1300 block of Florida Avenue, NW.
The Little Free Library is a movement sweeping communities and neighborhoods across the nation. With your help, we can have one in our community too. Little Free Libraries are charming 2-feet-by-2-feet structures that rest on a post, each containing 10 to 15 books. Take a book, leave a book. That is the simple concept.
The Little Free Library will be a fun way for our community to share books and to promote reading for our four neighborhood schools. The library will be located in the garden in front of Phil's house at 1312 Florida Avenue, NW. It will be the first Little Free Library in Washington, DC.
