What is Little Free Library?

An explanation from their website www.littlefreelibrary.org:
It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. You can, too!

When a disaster or tragedy happens, heroes appear. In appreciation, we want to remember what they did, who they were, and why their presence in our lives, no matter how short, made a difference.  Legacy Libraries offer us that chance.

One of the strongest motivations for “endowing” a Little Free Library is to preserve the memory of someone or something we admire. That’s why Legacy Libraries have such a profound impact – on donors, the communities they serve, and even with people who may not have known the honoree.
Dozens of local Little Free Library stewards and donors have established memorial Libraries.

I had read about the Little Free Library but this is the only one that I’ve seen in Columbia – it’s at the entrance to Riverwalk next to the Gervais Street bridge.

What a terrific idea! The next time I go there, I’m going to take an armful of books.
