LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES
The Little Free Library organization is still encouraging use of little libraries with caution. Here is a link to their statement online:
"Up to 61% of low-income families do not have any books for their children at home."
-U.S. Department of Education
"In low income neighborhoods, on average there is only 1 book for every 300 children."
-Handbook of Early Literacy
One of the most successful ways to improve reading achievement
of children is to increase their access to books, especially at
home. This is why we implemented the Little Free Library program.
The Literacy Network receives thousands of donated books each
year. Little Free Libraries the perfect conduit to get books into
the hands of children and families who need them most.
