Little Free Libraries Looking for New Project Lead

Help us build community and spread literacy!

Have you ever stumbled across a tiny home filled with books in someone’s front yard or parking strip? – it is probably a Little Free Library™! There are dozens throughout Ballard and more popping up all the time. Some even double as free food pantries. These little libraries are helping to spread literacy and fun throughout our community. Now we need your help – we are looking for a new Project Lead!

Free Little Libraries add whimsy to our neighborhoods as well as providing free books for all

Over the past decade the Little Free Library Project has:

Hosted building workshops
Offered carpentry help
Collected wood donations
Held book drives
Had book exchanges
Published maps
Recruited troops and groups to get involved
Taken pictures to capture the creativity of many boxes in Ballard (from art installations, to supply source during Covid and more)
Spent time searching out new Little Libraries and delivering new books to all

The national site has great newsletters and ideas, and the possibilities are endless, and fun is guaranteed! If this sounds like just the thing for you to take on in 2023 please let us know by contacting Jenny Heins. Thank you and Happy Reading!
