The Greater Prince William (GPW) Little Free Libraries project has continued to move forward with the addition of a new partner, and the launch of our online map.
A new partner
Our newest partner for the initiative is the non-profit group Write by the Rails, which is based in Manassas. The group is a chapter of the Virginia Writer’s Club.
“We go out into the community and promote literacy, and to help the community become more literate by our activities within the community. We are authors – authors and writers,” said Belinda Miller, Vice President of Write by the Rails.
According to Miller, the decision to join the project was motivated by their mission to promote literacy.
“I’m a children’s book author, and I’m an ex-reading teacher. So it’s always been a passion of mine to get children to read…so when the little free libraries idea came up…I got in touch with Bryanna Altman and we decided it’s time – it’s time to get these libraries up,” said Miller.
The group plans to reach out to Lowe’s, to ask them to donate building supplies, according to Miller. Additionally, Write by the Rails will be reaching out to places like Birmingham Green to secure more library locations.
How to find a little free library
Today we launched our GPW Little Free Libraries map via Google Maps.
This interactive online map will allow you to find all of the little free libraries in our area that are participating in our initiative.
