Toronto resident Bill Wrigley championed the idea a couple of years ago. Today, there are over 10,000 Little Free Libraries worldwide. In 2009 he built the original Little Free Library in honour of his late mother who was a teacher. It’s a fun idea started by Tod Bol of Wisconsin. You don’t have to sign up for anything or pay late fees and it’s open 24/7. Passers-by can take a book and return to leave one for someone else, guaranteeing a constant turnover.

Samson said she has never had any problems with having the library on her lawn, and has never found books scattered on her property. She said the libraries don’t necessarily have to be fancy - her father-in-law built hers out of recycled wood material. Samson said the libraries are meant to promote a sense of community, and she would like to see more of them in town.
She said it’s a fun, feel-good project, and is the only Little Free Library in Sylvan Lake. This is the second season Samson has participated in the program. “It’s an opportunity for people to share their favourite books with each other.”
“Libraries are for everyone and so is this,” Samson said. She also invites people to share their books with the community by putting them in the mini library for others to enjoy.
“I’d like to have more of a selection which is for families, and not just adults,” Samson said. She said she would like to see more books left in the library geared towards children. Samson welcomes community members to browse through the neatly stacked books of fiction and non-fiction adult easy reads. This mini library stands tall on the front lawn of Sylvan Lake resident Susan Samson’s house and is complete with a hinged door, which protects the precious books. In front of house number 338 in Marina Bay Place stands a Little Free Library - a big birdhouse-looking structure filled with free books aimed at inspiring reading in the community.
