Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Honorable Councilmember Jeffrey Rodriguez
Subject:Little Free Library
Date:1/15/2019

Recommendation:

I would like to propose installing the first Little Free Library at Picnic Park West. Little Free Library is a non-profit organization that enables the exchange of millions of books in neighborhoods through donations. The book exchange boxes are usually installed in communities and available for the public.

I would also like to propose that Town Staff work with residents interested in sponsoring a Little Free Library at their local park by assisting them in the process of installing one such as registrations and acceptable locations.

Little Free Libraries can be ordered online and customized or built by owner. Below is a link which provides further information such as cost, installation process, and a registration link to locate a Little Free Library.
