Little Free Libraries in Estes Park

In 2015 the Estes Valley Library initiated a project to place small “take a book, leave a book”, lending libraries around the Estes Valley and it’s surrounding communities.  Several libraries were placed in neighborhoods, parks, and along city streets.  Each library was built by a local resident, and each library is monitored and cared for by a local resident.

What is a Little Free Library?
Little Free Libraries are free book exchanges that are operated on the principle of Take a book, return a book. They have each been uniquely designed and built by various members of our community.

Who can take books from a Little Free Library?
Anyone! Little Free Libraries are available to young and old, visitor and resident. We only ask that all users of Little Free Libraries bring back the book once they have read it or replace it with another book/s.

How can I donate books to a Little Free Library?
If you want to give a few books, simply put them in a Little Free Library near you. Little Free Libraries do not accept magazines, brochures, CDs or DVDs.

Who is responsible for the Little Free Libraries?
