Little Community Library

Be Part of an Exciting Volunteer and Partnership Opportunity
Thank you for deciding to create a Little Community Library (LCL). By taking this important step you have demonstrated a desire to improve literacy in your community and embark with us on a journey to empower a nation of readers.
It is Let’s Read’s expectation that you will utilize resources within your community to build a book sharing box structure. Let’s Read will donate a diverse selection of new and gently used children’s books, The LCL Toolkit, a LCL sign and our expertise.
Each community will require a volunteer LCL Steward. This person will be the key local contact for users, donors and the LCL support system. Let’s Read will work with the LCL Steward to decide on where to legally and safely install the library, how the library should work, how to spread the word, and tips to handle vandalism.
