Little libraries have gained popularity in the last five-ish years — I bet you have a couple in a short walking distance from your house. These free book sharing spots are a delight to encounter.

In my time staying at and close to home, I’ve paid more attention to the ones in my neighborhood. I can see one from a window in my house, and it’s really endearing to see people regularly stop to pick up a book, drop off a book, or take a look inside.

Smile Politely wants to map C-U’s little libraries, but we need your help to do it. Email us locations (and photos, if possible) of the ones in your neighborhood; we’ll begin to plot them on a map. Feel free to also leave the locations and photos in the comments section on social media pages.
