Little Free Libraries: A Hometown Collaboration of Business, Art and Community

Little Free Libraries provide free books to the community to encourage literacy and to promote the joy of reading. Today, through the Little Free Library organization, there are 50,000 Little Free Libraries around the world!

With the generosity of Home Depot and area artists, the Library is proud to be a part of that achievement with five Little Free Libraries around LaSalle.  In addition to serving as public Art, the Little Free Libraries continue the library tradition of public access to information. At any of the five Little Free Libraries in LaSalle, you don’t need a library card to "take a book, leave a book." The selection changes often as people contribute books and take others. Participate, share and enjoy the Little Free Libraries in your community.

The five Little Free Libraries are located at the following locations:
