Little Free Libraries inspire the love of reading, promote the joy of learning, exploring new worlds, and dreaming of new possibilities!
The West Reading-Wyomissing Rotary Club used a grant from Rotary International Foundation to establish five (5) registered Little Free Library book sharing boxes to be a resource for our community. We continue to collect both children and adult books in both English and Spanish to be place in our Little Library boxes. If you would like more information or are able to donate books, please contact fellow Rotarian Linda Mackey: snowwhite014@gmail.com or 609-870-2437.
We worked with the following communities’ partners to build, locate, and maintain these community Little Free Libraries: Hawk Mountain BSA, Woodworking Club, West Reading Parks n Rec, Berks Nature, Reading DoubleTree Hilton Hotel, Wyomissing Parks n Rec. Books are donated through several library book sales, the Book Bonanza, friends, neighbors, Rotarians, and the website NextDoor
These Little Free Libraries are located at:
Gage Personnel & Pediatric Partners (101 N. 7th Avenue / 655 Walnut St, West Reading)
Berks Nature (575 St Bernardine St, Reading)
West Reading Playground (Sycamore Road & South 5th Ave, West Reading)

- 18th Wonder Collaboration: The local Little Free Library Program included donations of unused newspaper boxes from the Reading Eagle that were repaired, cleaned, and repainted by volunteers at Reading Truck Body and Masano Auto Group. The local Rotary Club of West Reading-Wyomissing built additional little library boxes. Volunteers from across the 18th Ward solicited book donations and continue to help stock the libraries.
