Have you seen the ‘Little Free Libraries’ across Barrie?

The Barrie Public Library says it’s the season for communal reading, at no cost to the community.

The library has launched what it calls the Free Little Libraries program for the summer months.

So far, the little small book containers have been installed at Lampman Park and Sunnidale Park in Barrie.

The library says the goal of the program is to increase access to books beyond library walls.

Residents are asked to operate on the honour system: borrow a book and return it when they’re finished or leave one behind in its place.

The organization says it will examine how Little Free Libraries are used before considering future expansion.
