Little Free Libraries are very popular with families because of their placement along walking paths and sidewalks close to home. The concept is “Take a book, Leave a book” and so the rotation of books and choices is nearly constant. Volunteer stewards help oversee the collections and answer any questions book donors or neighborhoods may have.

Applications are now being accepted from residents who would like a Little Free Library in their Montgomery neighborhood. Please email info@themontgomeryfoundation.com for more.
