Little Libraries

After a few years on pause, we restarted our little library program due to COVID-19.

We can use your help to maintain and grow the Little Library program, as the program has not been reinstated in full capacity, and not all little libraries that are listed have been reactivated.

We are working on creating a new map with the activated libraries. In the meantime, if you see a little library in the community needing more books or have questions about little library locations, please call or text John at 772-237-1665 or email Jcesar@cscslc.org.

In middle income neighborhoods the average ratio is 13 books per child. In low-income neighborhoods it’s ONE book for every 300 children.

St. Lucie Reads Little Library program puts a small tabletop library stocked with books in non-traditional locations like doctors’ offices, barbershops, laundromats and business waiting areas to share with children. The books can be borrowed or taken, as long as the kids promise to continue reading them at home. Our emphasis is on letting the children choose the books themselves and on helping them build home libraries. St. Lucie Reads partners help to stocks the Little Library and continue to replenish it as needed.

One of the most successful ways to improve the reading achievement of children is to increase their access to books, especially at home. But 61% of low-income families do not have any age-appropriate books.

Currently, there are 74 SLR Little Library locations throughout St. Lucie County, with more on the way. See below to find the closest St. Lucie Reads Little Library near you.

If a little library needs to be replenish or if you have any other questions or concerns regarding current libraries, please contact us.
