Commercial Street Mini Free Library

Commercial Street Mini Free Library What's this all about? Libraries across the continent have been closed or had budgets dramatically slashed for years. (www.littlefreelibrary.org).

The Little Free Library movement began in Wisconsin, created by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks: "They first met in 2009 while exploring the benefits of green practices in small businesses, discovering that they shared a commitment to service and the quality of community life around the world." Micro-libraries are one way private citizens can take back stewardship and grow their community and neighbourho

od resources, in a time when our municipal leaders are cutting them. With the closure of the Bruce Street Library in Milton, Ontario our neighbourhood was left a poorer place. I hope this little library can give back a little of what we lost. So feel free to borrow a book (but please return it when you're done, or replace it with another)! Donations of books are gratefully accepted. regards,
Adam Smith

Really. Please. Don't. It's very generous, but this is just a small part of the HUGE backstock of books that people have left in front of the Library. We have no more room! If the Library is full, please come back later.
Thank you.

This is not good, for anyone.
For the record, the Commercial Street Mini Free Library is NOT registered with Little Free Libraries TM.

After Little Free Library, the Wisconsin nonprofit launched 10 years ago by the late Todd Bol, recently applied for three trademarks, Bol's family called foul, claiming that the literacy organization is dishonoring Bol's legacy.

Folks, please don't do this, especially when there's rain in the forecast... I have more than two 106l bins of books as backstock already and have no more room for more! While I *really* appreciate the influx of childrens books I simply have nowhere to store any more books

I've posted plans for the mini libraries I've built; if you've got this many books to share I'll be happy to help you build one of your own.

“Let's celebrate libraries & library workers in . But let's never forget the 10,000 colleagues & 632 libraries lost since 2010”

Two year old story, but inspiring.

Toronto's new library is under a small bridge on Lower Simcoe Street in Toronto.
