Eagle Rock is a book-lover’s haven, dotted with Little Free Libraries, offering a unique way to discover new reads and connect with the community. This website was created to make finding these hidden literary gems easier than ever.
Mapping the Literary Landscape of Eagle Rock
This project began as a community endeavor by Mia Schrier, a sophomore at Eagle Rock High School. As part of a personal project aimed at benefiting the local area, she embarked on a mission to map all the Little Free Libraries in Eagle Rock. The process involved dividing a map of Eagle Rock into seven sections and systematically searching each area for these charming book exchanges. The result is a comprehensive resource that pinpoints the locations of these libraries, making them easily accessible to residents and visitors alike.
Fostering a Love of Reading
The driving force behind this project is a deep passion for reading. From a young age, books have been a source of joy and inspiration, and this website aims to share that love with the wider community. Easy access to books is crucial for fostering a love of reading, and the Little Free Libraries play a vital role in providing this access. This website serves as a bridge, connecting readers with these libraries and opening up a world of literary possibilities. By simply clicking on a section of the map, you can quickly locate the nearest Little Free Library and embark on your next reading adventure.
A Community United by Books
The project revealed a shared passion for reading within the Eagle Rock community. The abundance of Little Free Libraries demonstrates a collective desire to promote literacy and make books readily available to everyone. This website is a testament to that community spirit, providing a valuable tool for book lovers of all ages. It allows users to easily find a nearby library, pick up a new book, and perhaps even leave a book of their own to share with others. This continuous exchange fosters a sense of connection and shared experience, further enriching the literary landscape of Eagle Rock.
