The first Little Free Library has found its home! 📚
Whittier Tech students recently delivered the first student-designed and built Little Free Library to Georgetown, where it now stands outside the town’s police and fire station.
The library is part of a larger student-led project bringing 11 unique Little Free Libraries to communities throughout the Whittier Tech district. Students across several programs have contributed to the project, from designing and building the libraries to creating custom details and collecting donated books to fill them.
Each library is inspired by the history and character of the community it will call home, giving students the opportunity to put their technical skills to work while making a lasting impact beyond the classroom.
Georgetown is the first stop, with more communities to come! ❤️
