Hyde Park’s “Little Free Library!”
The Hyde Park Free Library is proud to announce its participation—in partnership with the Hyde Park Rotary—in the “Little Free Library” initiative!
What is a Little Free Library?
It’s a cooperative “take a book, return a book” community gathering place where neighbors freely share their favorite literature and stories.
Hyde Park’s “Little Free Library” is located in the Stop & Shop Plaza in the Hyde Park Mall where anyone may stop by, peruse our selection, and pick up a book (or two). Then, simply return at your leisure, and donate another gently used book that you’d like to share!
