The Little Free Library on Our Street

Last spring, our street had a problem.

There were no books for children after school.

My neighbor Mrs.

Chen had a good idea.

She wanted to build a small free library in front of her house.

On Saturday, six families came to help.

We painted the box bright blue and put it on a wooden post.

Then everyone brought books from home.

Now children stop there every day.

They take a book and leave another one.

Mrs.

Chen says the library belongs to all of us.

It is not a shop, and nobody pays.

Last week, a boy found a book about animals and smiled.

Small things like this make our street a friendly place.
