There are now more than 150,000 Little Free Libraries in the world. This map lets you explore them with neat photos and creation stories.
This Little Free Library, built by Mike Tierney, with a nod to steampunk and San Jose’s Hensley Historic District, was one of the first 2,000 libraries registered. It’s officially No. 1,878. Sometimes you need a Tom Clancy thriller for the airport, a classic storybook to put the kids to sleep or a random guide to hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to kindle those dreams about quitting the office job.
The map lets you zoom all over to see close-up photos and the raison d’etre behind each registered library. In the Bay Area, for instance, there’s ain San Jose with a “crank-operated flag-waving mechanism”; one inside the Gardens at Heather Farm in Walnut Creek ; and one about Black history in Oakland’s Longfellow neighborhood, the “birthplace of the Black Panthers.
There are filters that let you search for libraries with banned books, ones with new additions and others that honestly could use a few more titles, if you want to stop by and unload any from your bookshelf. There are indicators if the libraries have hand sanitizer, geocaches, dog treats and more.
