Little Free Libraries Popping up Everywhere

Little Free Libraries Popping up Everywhere
Little Free Library at 4800 Alcorn Road is the newest addition to the others in town.

Author: Rachel Dahl

A nationwide program started by Todd H. Bol in 2009, A Little Free Library is catching on through the Fallon community with the latest installation at 4800 Alcorn Road. The first little library in the community was installed at the Paiute Shoshone Administration Complex in March of 2015. Fifteen students from UNR dedicated their time during their Spring Break to install Little Free Libraries around Nevada, and partnered with UNR Cooperative Extension, Churchill County Museum, and the Tribe.

Numa Elementary also hosts a little library in front of the school, as does the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 507 Churchill Street, built by Celeste Buswell during the pandemic in 2020.

Anyone interested in starting a Little Free Library of their own can go to the website at littlefreelibrary.org/start/ to learn all about how to legally and safely install the library as well as make the library accessible and how to promote it. Design instructions are also available, or a library can be purchased through the online store.

When the library is purchased from the organization, it is automatically registered and comes with a charter sign. Otherwise, there is a process to register and have the library listed on the national registry and gain access to a network of benefits for the stewards of each library. The library is then listed on the mobile app and the web map. There is also a guest book feature and a place to post announcements as part of having the library registered.

A quick search of the web map also turned up a library at 818 McLean Road.

Bol started his non-profit organization with the goal of inspiring readers and strengthening communities. That goal is being met if watching the excitement on social media over the Little Free Libraries in Fallon is any indicator. There are currently over 100,000 Little Free Libraries across the country.
