TARDIS Little Free Library materialises in East London

Our latest creation has landed in a Kids' Park in East London. Made from FSC certified timber and finished in, well TARDIS blue!

By Little Free Library Project UK, the TARDIS has landed


It has a shelf for kids books and another for everyone else. We came up to London on 1st December to install it in Bisterne Avenue Park. It was commissioned by Caramel Quin, who will be acting as the resident Little Free Library steward. Come by and pick up a book!


Caramel and friends got into the festive spirit to celebrate the opening of their new TARDIS Little Free Library. It's sure to be a great asset to the local community, in Walthamstow, where it joins the UK's largest neighbourhood network of LFLs.


Happy reading!

London resident dedicates Little Free Library to the memory of her story telling mother

Walthamstow

London resident Jane Farrell grew up listening to her mother's amazing stories, many of which came from her love of Greek myths and legends. When Jane's mom sadly died, she decided to share her love of stories and story telling by dedicating a Little Free Library to her mother.

Jane asked us to build and decorate the book sharing box and on Saturday 12th May we came along and installed this very special Little Free Library outside her home. Jane, pictured above, has spent many years as a school teacher and is hoping that the striking artwork will inspire young people in particular to stop by and pick up a book.

Jane is planning an official launch event in June (more details to follow) where her local community, family and friends will join her to help celebrate the opening of London's newest tiny library.

Built by elves in the Little Free Library Project's magic workshop, we enlisted local artist Emma Scutt to add the artistic decoration to the Little Free Library.
