The Greenfield Township Historical Society sponsors the Little Free Library and is open to the community.
Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. The small, front‐yard book exchanges number more than 75,000 around the world in 85 countries — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan. Now, a new Little Free Library at the Greenfield Township Heritage Museum, 424 Route 106, Greenfield Township, PA 18407 (near the township municipal building) will join the movement to share books, bring people together and create communities of readers.
“Our Little Free Library doesn’t just belong to us, it belongs to the whole township,” says Ann Marie Warren. “It’s our hope that this Little Free Library will bring a little more joy, a little more connection and a whole lot more books to our community.”
The Little Free Library nonprofit organization has been honored by the Library of Congress, the National Book Foundation, and the American Library Association, and Reader’s Digest named them one of the “50 Surprising Things We Love about America.” Each year, nearly 10 million books are shared in Little Free Libraries.
