This weekend, the Greater Victoria Placemaking Network reached its goal of creating 150 little free libraries (LFL) by the end of 2017.

The miniature lending libraries are community book exchanges and dot the lawns of residents who have constructed unique versions of a free mini bookstore. The principle is simple B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址榣eave a book, take a book,B次元官网网址� but the impact is great.

For two years the city has been mapping the locations of LFLB次元官网网址檚 in each neighbourhood. They can be found at .

Excited to be cutting the ribbon on 's 150th this weekend. Join + friends at 2000 Chambers St. Sat. December 16th, at noon for the official unveiling!

The goal of achieving 150 LFLB次元官网网址檚 was a nod to Canada 150.

B次元官网网址淭he next goal will to be keeping them all full through the winter,B次元官网网址� said Network board member Teale Phelps Bondaroff, who has hand delivered roughly 900 books all over town since August. He was pleased to announce that libraries 151 and 152 are on their way.
