Victoria Watcher posted topic Free little libraries

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Free little libraries" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Greater Victoria Placemaking Network (GVPN) invites people from across the region to celebrate the charm of little free libraries (LFL) by sharing their favourite real-life stories about them.
The call for stories is part of the lead-up to the network's 1,000 Little Free Library Festival, a free community event happening Saturday, Sept. 20, from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oaklands Community Centre (2827 Belmont Ave.).
Little free libraries are little book boxes that operate on the principle of "leave a book, take a book." LFLs come in all shapes and sizes and can be found throughout the region. While most share books, there is a growing number of LFLs that share plants, seeds, toys, yarn, household items, board games, puzzles, art supplies, art, food and more.
Since 2017, the GVPN has been running the Pocket Places Project, which maps, promotes, stocks and helps build LFLs across the Capital Regional District (CRD).
To date, the project has delivered more than 128,000 books to LFLs across the CRD, mapped out more than 1,000 LFLs and helped set up more than 135 LFLs.
"Whenever I talk to someone about little free libraries, they always have a story to share," said Teale Phelps Bondaroff, volunteer lead of the project, in a release.
