Take A Book; Leave a Book. No due dates, expectations or fees — just an interest in sharing books and promoting literacy in both children and adults.

An SOS from this Little Free Library in front of the Jittery Joe's on Baxter Street - it could use some love! Share books if you've got 'em!
And while you're at it, share with us any locations where you think a Little Free Library is needed. FLiP (the Family Literacy Partnership) Athens is compiling a list of under-served areas in town that could use free books. Send us your ideas!
