February is Love Your Library
month. Children all over the world are going to participate
in activities. One way to celebrate is to create a Little
Free Library in your school.
You can read inside or outdoors
A Little Free Library is a small library made from cardboard, wood or recycled materials. Children, parents and teachers can give a book to the library or take a book from the library.

You can put a Little Free Library in your classroom, in the corridor, or even in the playground so you can always have a book to read! PHOTOCOPIABLE
In 2009 a man in the United States wanted to share books with his neighbours so he started the first Little Free Library in his garden. Now there are over 20,000 Little Free Libraries all over the world. Watch a video. Which is the most unusual library?
