Presenting the cutest Little Free Library ever! Along with Cubles and founder Joel Morris, we are delighted to introduce the Little Free Library Cuble, a 3D paperboard constructable book-sharing box standing 4-? inches tall. The collaboration came about in a serendipitous way: We were on a Zoom call with the publisher Scholastic when an LFL staff member spotted a small Dog Man figure on a bookshelf in the background and learned it was a “Cuble.” When we investigated, we discovered the Cubles company was based in Arden Hills, Minnesota, not far from our St. Paul office. After meeting Joel, we clearly saw our shared values of more engagement and less screen time. “Strong organizational relationships are foundational to our mission,” said LFL Executive Director M. Greig Metzger. “The opportunity to work together in that mission with a local company like Cubles makes our efforts even more rewarding.” Learn more and get your own Little Free Library Cuble: https://lflib.org/cuble #minnesota #twincities #stpaul #collaboration #screentime #reading #cubles #littlefreelibrary #littlefreelibraries

Florida has more access to books, thanks to your support! Every month, we grant Little Free Library book-sharing boxes full of books to the under-resourced communities that need them most through our Impact Library Program. Recipient JaKevis B. in Wauchula, Florida, tells us: “I can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve given us through the Little Free Library Impact Program. It truly means the world to us and the families at The Palms Apartments. This library is going to make a real difference, one that goes beyond just books. It’s about providing access to new opportunities and creating a spark for learning, growth, and community right where people live. We recently updated the name of our subproject to the Multi-Family Housing Literacy Initiative.” Together, we can increase book access for all!

Little Free Library has arrived at Red Lake Nation College! We were pleased to grant through our Indigenous Library Program two book-sharing boxes and a selection of culturally relevant books to RED LAKE NATION COLLEGE, Minneapolis site, the first tribal college site in a major U.S. city. “Red Lake Nation College is proud to be hosting a Little Free Library,” said Sarah Barott, faculty member in the English department. “Literacy is such an important skill, and ensuring that the Native American community has access to high-quality books where they can see themselves reflected is an honor." Special thank you to Milkweed Editions and Katie Hill for donating their Indigenous-authored books as part of the celebration; Montana Poet Laureate Chris La Tray for joining us; the staff at RLNC, including Sarah Barott, Karen Joy, and Brandon Vasquez; and Indigenous Library Program Manager Talia Miracle.

November is National Book Month, and we are proud to partner with SONIC Drive-In to place 25 Little Free Libraries in areas in need of greater book access! “Education has always been at the core of our Limeades for Learning program, and we’ve seen the impact it’s had over the past 15 years with more than $28 million going to support public school teachers and students across the markets SONIC serves,” said Stuart Brown, Executive Director of the SONIC Foundation. “Making books more readily available, whether in schools or local communities, is key to fostering lifelong learning. Partnering with Little Free Library DonorsChoose helps turn our passion for literacy into meaningful action this National Book Month and engage and empower the next generation through books.” https://lnkd.in/g4DWcnWP #nationalbookmonth #books #bookaccess #equity #education #littlefreelibrary #littlefreelibraries #limeadesforlearning
