Little Libraries

Victoria, BC, sure does love its Little Free Libraries. Within a 20-minute walk, I came across these three beautiful examples.

According to Little Free Libraries worldwide, there are over 200,000 globally. Victoria Place Making has a great blog post about the city of Victoria’s particular love for them; check out their local map. One of my favourite local publications, Capital Daily, states that Victoria has the highest density of little libraries in Canada. A city of avid readers. Well done, Victoria!
