The Little Free Library project has enabled the Lake Wylie Rotary Club to impact early childhood literacy in areas of our community with a need.
Since 2015, the Rotary Club of Lake Wylie has installed and maintained Little Free Libraries within our community with the goal of impacting early childhood literacy. The libraries are wooden boxes where individuals can take a book.
Rotarians painted and installed the libraries and our club members are responsible for doing book drives and keeping them stocked with books.
In theory, individuals take books, read them, and then return them; however, the book outflow is greater than the inflow, thus the need for the continued book drives.
Worldwide, there are now more than 80,000 registered Little Free Library book-sharing boxes in 91 countries. Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading, builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world.Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
