Little Free Library  
  • The Gardere Initiative has become part of the global movement to encourage reading among all age groups. We have a Little Free Library in front of our office with books sorted into five age groups (Birth-5 Years, Elementary, Middle, High School, Adults).​
The idea of Little Free Libraries is “Take a Book; Share a Book”.    Little Free Library is an ongoing project and is available to Gardere residents continuously. All residents are encouraged to Take a Book; Share a Book.
