Community Sharing Libraries are free neighbourhood book exchanges where anyone can take a book or drop off a book to share with others. Community Sharing Libraries aren’t just about sharing books, plants or puzzles. They’re about connecting with your neighbours and providing a way for people to give to their community.
Visit the Little Free Library Map to find a library near you!
Libraries on private property
Community sharing libraries on private property are permitted when the size is small enough so as not considered an accessory building or structure. Ensure the library is on private property by placing it behind the District boulevard.
Please see the Community Sharing Libraries Policy and Design Guidelines in Related Documents.
