Little Free Libraries are known as a “take a book, share a book” free book exchange. The goal is to build communities, inspire readers, and expand book access throughout the world through the help of volunteers. They come in many different shapes and sizes but they are most commonly seen as a small wooden box of books. On the website, you can order pre-made little libraries so it is easier to set up in your community. For help to start your own Little Free Library, check out the instruction video on the website.

There is a Little Free Library world map locator that shows the different libraries not only in your community but around the world as well. Within the Murray and Plattsmouth community, there are two registered libraries. There are many more libraries that are not registered within the Free Little Library organization but they are still giving back to the community.

The Plattsmouth Little Free Library is known for its easy access. The more accessible the Little Library is, the more new books there will be.
