Located in Greece, NY, and other areas, Dr. Deborah Fox, orthodontist, serves a variety of patients. As a way of giving back to the community, orthodontist Dr. Deborah Fox’s office sponsors the Little Free Libraries (LFL) program. LFL’s are miniature exchange boxes, resembling tiny houses, from which anyone may take or leave a book at no cost. Intended to promote an appreciation of reading, the idea has spread to all 50 states and some 70 countries. Specialized programs of the LFL movement include Action Book Clubs. Building on traditional book clubs, LFL urges readers to go beyond reading and discussing books to initiating public service activities. LFL provides suggestions for relevant books and useful community services. Another effort is the Law Enforcement Impact Program Library, in which LFL supplies police and other departments with free-standing or mobile libraries. The organization provides a beginning supply of books and a post on which to mount the libraries. Criteria for establishing a library appear on the group’s website, littlefreelibrary.org.
