Minibieb (Little Free Library) In The Netherlands

In 2009, Todd Bol from Hudson Wisconsin, USA built a scale model of a small school building in honor of his mother, a former teacher who loved to read. He filled it with books and placed it on a pole in the front yard. The first ‘little free library’ was born. In 2013, Mirjam Goudswaard from Oud-Beijerland started the Dutch site for mini libraries, where you can find construction drawings, order ready-made cabinets and indicate the location of your own mini library. In Belgium, there is Books in Boxes, and previously there was also Chaletters.

In 2024, only 100 Little Free Libraries in the Netherlands were officially registered with a charter number at LFL and therefore visible on the world map of https://littlefreelibrary.org/map/. There were one-off costs of a few tens of euros and you also supported the good work of the LFL, which continued to grow the initiative of Todd Bol’s very first Little Free Library in America worldwide.
