One of my favorite things is the Little Free Library! They encourage people to “build a literacy-friendly neighborhood.” You might have seen them around town — I’ve spied quite a number in Alameda, Berkeley, and Oakland. I can’t have one in front of my house because of the whole HOA thing, but I love finding them, and almost always stop and take a picture of one when I see one. And I like to drop books off into them too!
Today’s reading snapshots are from our favorite triplets over at Gracepoint Berkeley church, who just happen to love reading.
Do you have a Little Free Library? Or have you seen one in your neighborhood? If you’re allowed to have one in front of your house, I promise to provide the books and maintain it for you!
We have those in Austin, too!!

I wonder why Michael doesn’t have a helmet…? I’m glad he joined his sisters in reading though!

I didn’t know there were such things! I’m going to look out for them around our neighborhood now.

Good luck finding them! There are a lot in Alameda. But then again, there are a lot of jacaranda trees too. 🙂

We found one really close to Smitten in Berkeley in a telephone booth!

@thatissogoogoo – there is one a block away from our workplace, right over by Brentwood park on Santa Clara street 🙂 We should take a walk during lunch and do a book drop sometime!
