Looking for a library where you don’t have to whisper? Try your nearest Little Free Library. Little Free Libraries are small boxes of books that operate on a “take a book, leave a book” system. Anyone can choose a book from these tiny collections for FREE. The only rule is that you replace the book with a one in good condition from your personal collection.
As of November 2016 there are over 50,000 Little Free Library book exchanges around the world...including in our area! Below is a list of a few of the Little Free Libraries in Sarasota and Venice. Know of more? Feel free to add them in the comments below!
