Take a Book—Share a Book
You’ve probably seen them—wooden boxes with glass fronts, often mounted on poles—full of books to share! Winters Friends of the Library now supports nine Little Free Libraries around town. Here’s where you can find them:
- 27 Main Street, at the pocket park near Pacific Ace Hardware
- 8 East Main Street, on the porch near Steady Eddy’s
- along the footpath by the Community Garden in the Putah Creek Nature Park
- on Shams Way next to the Yolo Housing office at El Rio Villa
- 701 Main Street, across from the firehouse
- 110 East Baker Street, near the Winters Senior Apartments
- 4th and Main Streets, in City Park
- 415 Russell Street, at the entrance to Liwai Village Court
- 305 Creekside Way, near Toyon Lane
Little Free Libraries are so fun that people often start their own. Look for these other Little Free Libraries in our town:
- Edwards and Emery Streets, at the TreeHouse childcare center
- Hemenway Street, across from the High School football field
- South of town, on Central Lane, off Olive School Lane
These Little Free Libraries are part of a global initiative with the motto “Take a Book—Share a Book.” As of 2023, the website littlefreelibrary.org reports that there are 150,000+ registered little free libraries in 120 countries, with more than 300 million books shared! The goals of the initiative are to build community, inspire readers, and expand access to books.
WFoL’s Little Free Libraries are monitored and maintained by volunteers. We always need books to stock them, as well as to fill our library book sale room with great reads. Do you have books to share? Get in touch with us at reply@wfol.org or visit one of the little libraries. And if you know of any other Little Free Libraries in Winters, let us know and we will add them to our list.
