Little Free Libraries in Santa Cruz
Give and take. Borrow, Return. Share.
The history of libraries is a journey through civilization. Not so many centuries ago books were rare and laboriously hand-written by monks in monasteries. With the invention of the printing press, books were printed and circulated more widely, at first among the wealthy and gradually among a greater audience. Next came the growth of great public libraries, at first private and eventually free. A current and most delightful trend is the placement of free, individual Little Libraries in parks, private homes, and public locations like police or fire stations, churches and government buildings.
We had been growing a list from sources here and there when we discovered a national Little Free Library website. There we found many more Santa Cruz County libraries. https://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/ We’ve added them all to our list. Some of them are even Little Free Food Pantries, and one homeowner in Aptos offers Little Free Flowers. We suspect there are more unreported libraries and hope you will share their locations with us! info@santacruzparent.com
If you know of an area that could benefit from a free little-free-library, every month Little Free Library grants no-cost little libraries to underserved neighborhoods. See where they donated libraries recently! https://ed.gr/cxsnt
