There are over a thousand Little Free Libraries across Michigan, almost one for every community in the Lower Peninsula, according to Little Free Library’s website. In communities across the state, avid readers have created these little libraries, usually a decorated box full of books where anyone is welcome to take a book and leave one for the next person who comes along.
