The Little Libraries Bringing Books into People鈥檚 成人快手s
Small boxes of books placed across the world are bringing people together
In 2009, Todd Bol built a small box in the shape of a school, filled it with books and placed it on his front lawn in Wisconsin, in the US. The book exchange soon became a focal point for the community. Now there are more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries in 88 countries across the world, including Sudan, Russia and the UK. They are open to everyone, they never close and have no paperwork or overdue fines. With the motto 鈥淭ake a book, leave a book鈥�, the aim is to bring people together and get more books into people鈥檚 homes.
