Rescued Books for Napa's Little Free Libraries
What are Little Free Libraries?
A Little Free Library is a “take a book, share a book” free book exchange. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books. Anyone may take a book or bring a book to share. Little Free Library book exchanges have a unique, personal touch. There is an understanding that real people are sharing their favorite books with their community; little libraries have been called “mini-town squares.”
​
Little Free Library book-sharing boxes play an essential community role by providing 24/7 access to books (and encouraging a love of reading!)

Why CanDo Loves Napa’s Little Free Libraries (LFLs)
​
-
They make books easily accessible to everyone in Napa, especially children and young adults.
-
They provide new homes for books in good condition that otherwise would be recycled or go to the landfill.
