Little Libraries

Take a Book, Leave a Book

Come visit one of our Little Libraries scattered throughout the community! From new nonfiction to riveting contemporary tales, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Through our Little Libraries not only do we want you to embark on a literary journey with friends and others in Kendall Square, but we also hope to strengthen community connection, inspire readers and provide access to books for all. We believe that Little Libraries support literacy and education, encourage lifelong learning, and provide a community gathering space.

Take a book, leave a book, and happy reading!
