A key predictor of later literacy is the number of books in a home. One way we accomplish our mission is by giving away free books.
Look for Little Green Bookshelves around Wayne County – at laundries, doctor’s offices, and other places. The gently used books are free for anyone to keep, read, and enjoy! Volunteers help look after the bookshelves and also find new places to put more shelves.
Located at 16 Canal Street next to our office in Lyons, the free bookstore is the home for books sent out on the Little Green Bookshelves. Staffed by volunteers, the Annex is open to the community. Hours vary so please call ahead.
My granddaughter has a loose tooth hanging out and she’s afraid. I found “Moose’s Loose Tooth” and “Freddie Visits the Dentist” at your free bookstore. I’m going to read them to her when she comes home from school and maybe they will give her something to think about.

Look for our book booth at community and school events!
Also, check out our Books from Birth Program.
Literacy Volunteers’ free book program also provides skill-building opportunities for consumers from select agencies. We are grateful for all the volunteers who make this work possible.
There are people in your town who have never owned a book. There are people in your town who cannot afford to buy books for their family. Every single town in Wayne County struggles with illiteracy. You can change this by donating your gently used books to our Free Bookstore!

Please do not leave books outside our office when we are closed!
We all hate to throw away books, but space is limited so please think carefully about the types of books you would want to receive. If books do not meet these conditions they will not be accepted or will be immediately recycled:
