So you’ve decided to run your very own Little Free Library! After you’ve set it up, now what? Do you just put books in it and hope the readers will come? Getting a Little Free Library sign and materials can help let newcomers know what exactly this little box of books on the curb is!
If you’re just getting started, make sure to register your Little Free Library on the official website. This lets other librarians know that you are in the area, and patrons can use the Little Free Library map to visit.
When you register, you’ll purchase an official Little Free Library sign. These come with unique charter numbers, special to your specific library! The Little Free Library plaques you see most often are purchased through the official site.
If you’ve already registered and want your library to stand out in your neighborhood to clue people in as to what they are, you can get even more custom signs and accessories.
Especially if you live in an area that doesn’t have many, it may be helpful to have a Little Free Library sign to tip passersby off as to what to do with the magical new library. There are also more fun accessories like Little Free Library printables to add to your happy house of books!
