Those aren’t elf houses nor mailboxes popping up around Medway, they’re Little Free Libraries! These small house-like structures can be found at Choate Park and other Medway neighborhoods. 

How it works

From children’s reads to adult literature, the libraries hold a variety of genres and authors. Since the libraries run on an honor system, in which the readers are advised to take a book and leave a book, its shelves are updated often. 

Who can host

Anyone can own a little library by installing a library and registering it at www.littlefreelibrary.org to get it on the map. 

Where are they located

Current Medway Little Libraries can be found at: 

32 Cottage Street
