Calling all book lovers!

Little Free Libraries in Armenia, an initiative started in 2015 by Laurie Alvandian and Nina Romá Agvanian, has just launched an exciting crowdfunding campaign to fund the building, painting, and installation of at least 40 Little Free Libraries throughout Yerevan, the unrecognized Armenian Republic of Artsakh, and each of Armenia's 10 provinces.

Little Free Libraries are free, public book exchanges, usually located outside in accessible public spaces. While they come in all different shapes, sizes, and designs, they usually resemble small wooden boxes or “houses.” The concept was started in 2009 in the United States, and has since spread around the world. There are now over 50,000 Little Free Libraries in over 70 countries. The motto of Little Free Library is "take a book, return a book." Anyone in the community is welcome to take a book from the library or bring a book to place in the library for someone else to read.
