I was so excited to receive my plaque for my little free library it is great to show I am a part of this wonderful community. The plaque is solid and just what I expected.
Apsley St neighbors dedicated our Little Free Library (LFL) on July 4th, 2026. It was dedicated in honor of our deceased friend and neighbor Nick Roush. He was a reader, educator, social worker and community activist. The library sits in the middle of our block in front of the Roush home. Neighbors old and new came out for the dedication. Since that day people have been receiving and adding books.
I am having a lot of fun taking my grandson with me when I hunt for children’s books. He is an avid reader so we hunt for books he loves and we have quite a collection to share with others
So excited to be able to have the official charter sign on our Little Free Library. Clear, easy to read, easy to install and brings our library into a beautiful global network. Definitely worth it.
I haven't opened my LFL yet but here it is! I'm waiting for some other decorative items. But the charter sign is a great size, good quality, and an awesome way to show off participation in the LFL network!
I am so happy to be a part of the Little Free Library community. This has been a dream of mine since we bought our house 4 years ago. I was very impressed with the fast shipping of the sign and the resources available on your website. Thank you!
We are really enjoying having our little free library. The plaque is very nice and really complements the library. The library has had many visitors in the short time it’s been up, and all our neighbors love it!
We are getting a lot of activity at free little library. One day when I checked the library it had several books missing, including all three Harry Potter books. When I checked it next it had an overflow of replaced books. With books laying on top of the other books.
Love it a few of my neighbors have stopped by I have talked to a neighbor that I never have and I’ve also seen a mom and a daughter and some of the notes they leave me are make my day and knowing some of the books I’ve put in that they have gotten makes me feel more amazed by it
People have taken some books and others have left some books. I did see that someone one morning pretty much emptied it. I wonder if that has happened to anyone else.
Just finished installing our new Little Library which a good friend and his son built and placed. My wife and I did the detail work including getting HOA approval, locating gas lines to avoid an apocalypse, painting and locating books. We’re now working on getting the word out in our neighborhood to elicit business.
