What do you do when you have a lot of books that you need to move on to new homes?  A lot of the books I wanted to donate were ARCs so they can’t go to thrift stores.  I decided to feed my local Little Free Libraries.

I have been donating to the one in my neighborhood but it couldn’t handle the volume of books that I wanted to donate on its own.  I used this map to find other ones around me.

I started by donating these books to my neighborhood library, which isn’t even registered on the map.

Then I found this one nearby. It had mostly kids’ books so I added what YA books I had and a few adult books.

This library was hidden in the wandering roads of a subdivision near my house. I had to turn around a few times to find it.

I got rid of about 20 books in these three libraries. I still need to go through my upstairs bookcases and purge some more.

Of course I had to see what books were already in the libraries. It would have been rude not to! I only picked up three books which I figured was a pretty good trade off.

Do you donate books to these Little Free Libraries? Do you get books from them?

Have you seen the Instagram feed? There are so many adorable libraries!
