Little Free Library Washington County

10/19/2018

The creator of the Little Free Library has died of pancreatic cancer. With Little Free Libraries around the globe, his contributions to building communities of readers is amazing.

As the owner of the first official Little Free Library in Washington County, officially “opened” on October 27, 2014, I was inspired to offer that in my community and to encourage others to do the same. Now there are chartered LFL across Sandersville. I have met people of all ages at my LFL on W Church Street who shared what they loved about specific books.

Take a book, leave a book.
Build communities.

We'll have a photo from today's ribbon cutting soon! Lots of folks asking how they can create their own LFL, and plans are underway for a LFL in Warthen (business and citizens working together).

If your family, church, business, or civic group wants to know more comment here. If you want a LFL sponsor to make a presentation we'll be glad to do that too!

Washington County's second Little Free Library is out! We're still waiting on the LFL "make it official" sign and charter number to arrive but it is filled with children's books and ready for visitors. Bring a book to share if you have one.
