WHAT KIND OF BOOKS ARE IN THERE?

One of the benefits of using a Little Free Library is that you never know what books are going to be inside. It can be a wide variety of romance, drama, fiction, non-fiction, and children's books. Many of those who have started using the free libraries have found themselves reading books they may have never picked up. There typically are plenty of children's books in the box too. Some Little Free Library's were created by neighborhood groups or non-profit organizations who promote children's literacy.  Take the library at Dowdy Park which is sponsored by The Outer Banks Women's Club. This library was created and is maintained by the Outer Banks Women's Club to support the club's goal of promoting literacy and love for reading in their unique beach community.
