(This is inspired by @ArunMuralidhar 's post where he featured a Little Free Library he discovered!)
Some background: Little free library is a concept of book-sharing or book-exchanging to encourage reading and community! More info at Little Free Library.
I never thought I’d find one in my city but after reading Arun’s post, I searched “little free library singapore” and I FOUND IT! It’s a little outpost that stands outside the house of the person who planted it there:
Of course, I have never visited it so I can only share a screenshot from a 360. I will be sure to update this post when I have finally visited it!
Is there a little free library in your city (it may not necessarily be named “Little Free Library”)? Share a Google Maps link to it or photos, if you can!
@LucioV COOL! Surprise, surprise. Bookcrossing originated in from my city in 2007 (at least the article said so, haha)! But sadly the movement went away overtime and now bookcrossing zones are no longer around and it’s almost impossible to find an unattended book anywhere. I think bookcrossing can take place in different ways — what is your version of bookcrossing?
@ErmesT I don’t like it, I LOVE it! I love how the books are now part of the tree. It looks so well taken care of. Are there many of such spots in your city?

Ehehe in effect is older! I opened my account in 2003 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/LuVi/, but the launch was in 2001. You country maybe the first to have a public Bookcrossing initiative
I’m so jealous of my books, so I always release in the wild doubles I like to leave in public transportation, and loved to free books in public telephone booth, but now are disappearing!
How do I add locations for all the Free Little Library’s popping up in my city? They aren’t really a Library, nor are they a business, there doesn’t seem to be categories that fit!
This coffe is my best place that i can drink a coffe or anything with read books , this coffe have a lot of books , and anyone want to read books can come to it
I added my LFL to the map. I believe I used Public Library as the category.
I believe you can find it by searching for Little Free Libraries in San Diego or Corner Garden Little Free Library.
Would love to help others get there libraries on the map!
Excellent… Thanks for sharing, I used to live in Singapore worked in Jerong Industrial estate and lived in Clementi, way back in the Year 1995- …too long
Thanks for all the good work , excellent you are all doing.
Will share a photo later!
