Big stories live in small boxes [View all]
EVERETT — Your next great read may be right around the corner — literally.
Nestled into the neighborhoods of Everett are more than a dozen Little Free Libraries. The size of a kitchen cabinet, passersby can find books and other goodies inside their colorful walls, free of charge.
The Little Free Library is a nonprofit based in Minnesota that aims to inspire readers and expand book access in neighborhoods. To join, mini librarians pay a $50 registration fee, and their library is assigned a unique charter number. Some choose to build their libraries from scratch. Others opt for a pre-made version.
From curating the selection to cruising secondhand markets for books, the people behind these libraries are dedicated to sharing the love of reading with their community.
