In 2009, Todd Bol put up a little free library. That was to show his love for his mother, who was a book lover and teacher. Bol wanted to share his mother’s love for reading with others. He built a wood box and filled it with books. He put the box in his yard. This was the beginning of Little Free Library. The idea spread and Todd made a wise decision to set up Little Free Library as an organization with a sign that reads “Little Free Library. ORG: Take a Book.
Return a Book. Today there are about 100,000 little free libraries in over 100 countries and they have made a great difference to millions of people’s life.
Studies have shown that books have a meaningful influence on children’s literacy (识字). Children who love reading can do well at school.
Little Free Library can improve relationship between neighbours and strangers, too. “There are many little libraries in people’s front yards, sharing the joy of reading with anyone who passes by. I just live in such a world where books are highly valued (被珍惜),” Catherine, an American woman, said. “I’ve even got a note of thanks from a gentleman named Esteban. He was thankful to have a ‘friend’ on a cold night: ‘Thank you for this wonderful gift of a book. It’s an excellent friend on this cold and lonely night. I’ll return one in its place as soon as I can!’”
Hopefully, when each building has such a library, we will soon have a society where people spend less time on the phone and more on the pages of a book.
