Looking for something fun to do with the kids? How about packing up a few books to trade and visiting some local Little Free Libraries?
Ten years ago, Todd Bol installed the first Little Free Library in front of his house in Hudson, Wisconsin, as a tribute to his mother, a teacher. Now over 80,000 Little Free Libraries can be found scattered throughout neighborhoods around the country so chances are there's one near you!

ISSAQUAH

Sammamish Washington 98075 I am a native Wisconsinite and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (where the LFL got its' start.)

SNOQUALMIE VALLEY
Charter #52448 8130 378th Ave SE Snoqualmie WA 98065 I was first introduced to the idea of the Free Little Library while back in my hometown. I loved the idea and decided to ask my family to make me one as their Christmas present to me.

Come find us - it's located right in front of the red train caboose in our yard! | Charter #33602 39735 SE Spruce St Snoqualmie WA 98065 Our library is made from a repurposed vintage veggie cupboard. Inside are books for all ages, a Trinket Trade/ Geocache, a Community Art Book (take it home, make art in it, and return it for all to see!), a Seed Exchange (in the Spring), and even dog treats for those headed to the Dog Park! |
Charter #56327 13511 421st AVE SE North Bend WA 98045 A very merry unbirthday tea party to you! We created this family friendly library after falling in love with other free little libraries.

Please feel free to come find us and pick out some new books. | Charter #59183 701 Thrasher Ave NE North Bend WA 98045 Our Little Free Library Box was a Birthday gift from my husband! It will be taken care of with the help of my daycare kiddos. We are excited to bring reading to many and it brings the community together! The daycare children are very eager to see how many books get taken. | Charter #51854 400 SE Orchard Drive North Bend WA 98045 Frost Home Team installed this Little Free Library for all in the community to enjoy.

What better place to have one than in one of the most popular neighborhoods, Forster Woods. This Library is located in the Upper Park. Once you turn into the neighborhood take a left, then right onto Hemlock. |
