'Little Free Library' Grand Opening Celebrates Literacy

Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. The small, front‐yard book exchanges number 36,000 around the world in 70 countries — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan. Now, a new Little Free Library at 19 Blackington Road in Foxborough will join the movement to share books, bring people together and create a community of readers.

The Piazza’s will host a grand‐opening for their Little Free Library on Saturday, May 21st from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., open to the public. May 21st is also the 2nd annual National Readathon Day! Bring a favorite book and a blanket to sit on the grass and read for a while. The celebration will include contests and refreshments.

“Our Little Free Library doesn’t just belong to us, it belongs to the whole town,” says Lisa Piazza. “It’s our hope that this Little Free Library will bring a little more joy, a little more connection and a whole lot more books to our community.”

The Little Free Library nonprofit organization has been honored by the Library of Congress, the National Book Foundation, and the American Library Association, and Reader’s Digest named them one of the “50 Surprising Things We Love about America.” Each year, nearly 10 million books are shared in Little Free Libraries.
