PHOTO PROVIDED The Little Free Library located at Shamrock Lakes in Cape Coral.

Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. The small, front‐yard book exchanges number 100,000+ around the world in 80 countries — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan.

Now, a new Little Free Library will join the movement to share books, bring people together and create communities of readers.

Shamrock Lakes residents Susan Monteleone and Jack Davis invite you to stop by 1208 SE 3rd St., Cape Coral, FL 33990, and see the results of their collaborative effort.  

Monteleone and Davis hope that this endeavor will bring a little more joy, a little more connection and a whole lot more books to the folks in and around the Shamrock Lakes 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. To learn more, please visit littlefreelibrary.org.
