Our local newspaper just did a story on this! I love it! I would love to participate! I looked up our city and found that we have only one... so I might just make one and place it in our yard!! Thanks for doing this swap!

How cool!! I'd never heard of Little Free Libraries before, but I love books, and sure enough, there's one in the mid-size town about 45 minutes from me. Watching for now, but if I have the chance to go up there and have the means to get a photo printed, I'll join. At least you've let another person know about LFLs!

I've been thinking about setting one of these up in my yard after I move next month. There's one 5 miles from me where I live now but none in the town I'm moving to. Neat swap! Would definitely join an email swap like this; my printer doesn't print pix too well.

The reason I have added the photos into the letter is so you know they don't have to be professional quality. Perhaps if you don't have a printer, or one that doesn't work too well you could print your letter out at the library. Ours only charges 10 cents per printed page and they print in color. :)

The reason behind this swap is to help spread the word about Little Free Libraries. :) Okay, and because I'm dieing to see some others. So far I've only run across them in my city. We have 5 but I've only seen 2 of them.

Thanks for the comments ladies.

Someone built a Little Free Library and put it up in town but I don't think it's registered with the LFL website. Can I still participate?

You are more than welcome to participate April.

I didn't see that last comment until today. I'm sending April a message and will assign partners by tomorrow.
