炙熱的夏天，穿越重重酷暑考驗的感覺， 就為了吃一頓午餐。 商場里的美食層中午用餐高峰期，各種層出不窮的精品美食。little free library ,第一次遇見，就在晶品B2美食層。
小小的一架書，旁邊有閱讀臺。 如果不往四周看， 你會以為這就是一個小小的圖書館，給這里休憩的人們提供隨手可閱讀的時光。 在這嘈雜的中間用餐時刻， 這里顯得分外的清涼，一本本堆在書架上的書，輕輕撫摸，心一下子變得安靜。這個小小的LITTE Library 就設在上下電梯旁邊。 不知道經過的食客是否有注意到。對我來說，我覺得是一個小小的意外驚喜。 覺得午餐出去覓食， 是一個在這大夏天值得持續探索的一件事情。有點小確幸的感覺。上上下下的人群， 不知道是否有誰也和我一樣擁有了這種小確幸。真的有人和我一樣， 以下是來自 一個叫 Michael Ashley 的分享
When I lived in the small town of Fairfax up in Marin County, I would often pass these little kiosks offering free books. What a cool novelty to be walking my dog in the middle of some woodsy, remote area and then suddenly find this portal into a literary largesse. It was like a bunch of elves or fairies had snuck out in the middle of the night and built the tiniest cottage and stuffed it with goodies for no other reason but to make people happy.
Now, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the real story behind the Little Free Library.(Or was it?)Seriously, what is this strange phenomenon that allows you to obtain free reading treasures without leaving the comfort of your neighborhood?
History[edit]
The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 by Todd Bol inHudson, Wisconsin. He mounted a wooden container designed to look like aone-room schoolhouseon a post on his lawn and filled it with books as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover andschool teacher. Bol shared his idea with his partner, Rick Brooks, and the idea spread rapidly, soon becoming a "global sensation".[7]Little Free Library officially incorporated on May 16, 2012,[8]and the Internal Revenue Service recognized Little Free Library as a501(c)(3)nonprofit organizationin the same year.[9][10]
The original goal was the creation of 2,150 Little Libraries, which would surpass the number of libraries founded byAndrew Carnegie. As of November 2016, there were 50,000 registered Little Free Libraries worldwide.[11]
The Little Free Library nonprofit has been honored by theNational Book Foundation, theLibrary of Congress,Library Journal, and others for its work promoting literacy and a love of reading.[12]
Margret Aldrich wroteThe Little Free Library Bookto chronicle the movement.[13]
How Little Free Libraries work[edit]
A reader browsing a Little Free Library
A Little Free Library is a neighborhood book exchange where anyone passing by can take a book to read or leave a book for someone else to find.
Little Free Library owners, known as "stewards" can purchase a Library box atlittlefreelibrary.org, or they can create their own and register it on the website. Stewards of registered Little Free Libraries receive a sign for their Library that reads "Little Free Library" and features an official charter number.[14][15]Registered Little Free Libraries are eligible to be featured on the Little Free Library World Map,[16]which lists locations with GPS coordinates and other information.
Little Free Libraries of all shapes and sizes exist, from small, brightly painted wooden houses to a larger library based onDoctor Who'sTARDIS.[17][18]
Global impact[edit]
While the majority of Little Free Libraries are in the United States, the book exchanges can be found in countries around the world, including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Italy, Germany, UK, France, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, Armenia, Pakistan, Qatar, Ghana, Nigeria, Sudan, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and more.

無疑我覺得像這種little library 提供的短暫性但是會是比較固定時刻的閱讀， 比如午餐時刻，或者出門遛彎遛狗的時候。停下來閱讀片刻。 創始人09年成立，而如今到全世界有24000個志愿者參與其中。 而這是個非盈利性組織， 目前員工只有14個人。
目前國內估計只有一線城市才會存在， 一個我想是因為閱讀習慣的原因，還有就是管理上的因素 。 如果沒有一批愿意交換閱讀的讀書愛好者，就無法形成氛圍。
就目前我們的閱讀習慣和閱讀量來說，根據第13次國民閱讀調查統計數據,成年國民人均紙質書和電子書合計閱讀量為7.84本，較2014年紙質圖書和電子書合計閱讀量上升了0.06本， 未成年人的人均圖書閱讀量為7.19本。不知道這個數據怎么調查出來的，但是應該可以反映一定的現實性問題。 ?習慣去讀書或者愛好讀書的人還是少部分。
就個人讀書看書的體驗來講，以前讀的太快，囫圇吞棗，消化得太少。 選擇性的讀書 ，讀精比較重要 ， 最主要的是從讀的過程中能享受到樂趣。平衡自己的情緒，?獲得知識的收獲和心靈的呵護。這些是讀一些好的作品可以帶給我們的。 希望像little library 這樣的小書店，在家門口，在公園， 在路邊休憩的小亭子里越來越多。
