Little Free Library Love

The Shadow Wood Little Free Library, Charter # 104546, is my own personal library and near and dear to my heart.

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit I lamented to my husband that I wanted my own library. Being the resourceful guy that he is, and using totally recycled materials he found around our home, he built me the Shadow Wood LFL! 

Located at 26765 Shadow Wood Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes, California my library is now part of a worldwide network supporting literacy! What started as a simple idea more than eleven years ago has become a global literacy movement. The first Little Free Library book sharing box was built in 2009. Today there are 100,000 registered Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and 108 countries. 

The growing LFL network shares my personal mission to inspire a love of reading, build community, and provide book access for all and it’s so simple to participate. 

You visit like you would a regular library. 

If you see something you want to read, take it. 

Read it. Enjoy it. When you’re done, (unlike a real library) the book is yours to keep,

It is always my hope patrons will share their books when they’re done reading, and continue to visit our LFL to borrow and share favorite books for years to come.
