Dr. Deborah Fox is an orthodontist based in Greece, NY. In addition to her work as an orthodontist, Dr. Deborah Fox is a proponent of the Little Free Library organization and its tiny libraries across America. Little Free Library is dedicated to helping communities foster a love of reading through neighborhood book exchanges. The organization helps library stewards around the nation build tiny libraries, fill them with books, and take care of their new community asset. Then local readers are welcome to come borrow books on a take one, leave one basis. To become a library steward and start a Little Free Library in your community: 1. Find a location. Little Free Library's online map can help you see if there are already little libraries in your area. Ideal locations have high foot traffic and are easily visible. Do not forget to consult local zoning laws before you begin. 2. Build or purchase a container for your Little Library. Many people choose to make their own libraries from wood, while others chose to purchase a pre-made one from Little Free Library or elsewhere. 3. Consider registering your library with Little Free Library. Registration requires stewards to purchase a small plaque for their box, but this one-time expense entitles stewards to ongoing support and other resources. 4. Tell your community. Social media, local papers, and fliers can help spread the word about your upcoming new library. 5. Add your library to the Little Free Library world map so that people can find it. 6. Fill your library with books and invite your neighborhood to come find a new favorite.
