January 2021 edit: MINC's Public Art Committee has an extra Free Little Library! Let us know if you are interested in installing it in front of your house.
Looking for a way to spread some cheer to your neighbors? Installing a Little Free Library outside of your home or business is a great way to give back.
They’re free for everyone to use! You can discover a new favorite book for yourself or a loved one. You can also donate your old favorites to pass on to someone new!
The Little Free Library system started in 2009 in Wisconsin but has spread nationwide over the past ten years to enrich local communities. Here are some of the posts available in our area:
