Little Libraries in Laundromats


Welcome to Little Libraries in Laundromats

4/7/2020

 
Picture
Little Libraries in Laundromats started with a few laundromats in the Near Northside neighborhood of Houston in November, 2019. The little library is either a wooden crate of books or a bookcase, depending on the size of the laundromat and what they can accommodate.

Books can change a child’s life and they can create a bridge to a completely different future. The little libraries make books accessible to children and encourage reading.
​
We want to start a MOVEMENT!! We want to start a book revolution! We want for people to hear about this and to be moved to start one or more libraries in laundromats in their own neighborhood.
