Little Free Libraries

Expanding Youth Opportunity, One Book at a Time

At United Way of Northwest Georgia, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. That journey begins with access to literacy, learning, and supportive resources that lay the foundation for lifelong success.

As part of our broader mission to remove barriers and advance what works, our network of Little Free Libraries supports early literacy and family engagement right in the heart of our neighborhoods. These “take a book, leave a book” stations are placed in local parks, schools, and community spaces across Whitfield and Murray counties to ensure reading is always within reach.

These libraries are open year-round and available to everyone - kids, teens, and adults! Whether a child needs a book to spark their imagination or a parent is looking for something new to read with their family, these libraries serve as a simple yet powerful tool for connection and growth.

We maintain these libraries with the help of dedicated volunteers and community partners who believe in the power of books to change lives.

This is just one of the ways we work toward a community where all can thrive - from literacy and school readiness to after-school programs, college and career prep, and essential services for families in crisis. Because when we invest in children and support families, we build a stronger, more resilient future for everyone.
