In just three years the Little Free Library movement has grown from zero to 25,000 locations in 72 countries. More than 40 million books have changed hands through this network due to the efforts of volunteer stewards who install, curate and sustain the book exchanges.
To celebrate its third birthday this Saturday, May 16, Little Free Library asks fans to bring new or gently used children's and young adult books to neighborhood Little Free Library, and (preferably) snap a photo of yourself dropping off books and post on social media using hashtag #givebooks.
They have also started a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to build 50,000 free book exchanges and put books where they’re needed most!
