A nationwide nonprofit organization geared toward community literacy continues to expand, adding a new library in the Northeast San Antonio Metrocom.

In case you missed it

A new Little Free Library, or LFL—led by local resident and volunteer Michelle Espinosa—officially opened on Jan. 11.

The book-sharing box is free and open to the public 24/7 and is located at 514 Aviation Ave. in Schertz, according to LFL’s locator map.

Little Free Library is a nonprofit based in St. Paul, Minnesota, focused on building community and literacy through access to books, according to their website.


Through the program, stewards can volunteer to create book-sharing boxes within their neighborhood or community that contain free books. Residents are encouraged to donate their own or swap a book out when taking one to read for themselves.

The approach

Since its founding in 2009, LFL has sanctioned over 200,000 book-sharing boxes across all seven continents, including Antarctica.

According to the nonprofit’s locator map, there are approximately five more book-sharing boxes in neighboring Universal City, while Cibolo has approximately six.
