The Little Free Libraries are designed to spread literacy and neighborliness; and they seemed like a great idea to me. So, when I started working toward getting my teaching credentials, one of my goals was to establish a similar library in my classroom.
However, after thinking about it, I don't think that it makes sense to run my classroom library like a Little Free Library. For one thing, it's not in a public place; so there wouldn't be any point in putting it on a map. Plus, there's a charge for registering with the Little Free Library. More importantly, however, my classroom library needs to have a more carefully selected set of books than would appear in a Little Free Library. In order to get non-readers interested in my books, I want to have a selection of high-interest, current books that are targeted at a wide range of interests. I want to include some of my favorite books, books that will appeal to various groups, and books with a history connection (since I hope to be teaching history). So, a simple, "Take One, Leave One" policy won't work.
So, this project won't be a Little Free Library. But, it's still on my list to do someday!
