A Little Free Library is a community-driven initiative designed to encourage reading and book sharing. It's essentially a small, weather-resistant box or structure, often resembling a miniature house, where people can freely take or leave books. The concept operates on the principle of "take a book, leave a book," creating a continuous exchange of literature within the community.

Key Points:

• Accessible to All: Anyone can take a book or leave a book, making it a free and accessible resource for readers of all ages.
• Community-Centered: Little Free Libraries are usually set up in neighborhoods, parks, or in front of public places like schools and community centers. They help foster a sense of community by connecting people through the shared love of reading.
• Promotes Literacy: These libraries encourage reading by making books readily available, especially in areas where access to books might be limited.
• Sustainable: By recycling books, Little Free Libraries contribute to sustainability, reducing the need for new printings and keeping books in circulation.

Little Free Libraries are part of a larger global movement aimed at increasing access to books and building stronger, more connected communities.

Each classroom at New Horizon is equipped with grade-level books for students to utilize while they are enrolled at New Horizon. The Bessemer City Library has an array of services offered to the community. You can find more information at their website.
