Oh the Places You'll Go!

Designers and bibliophiles, this is your chance to shine. Show off your talents while promoting literacy and community engagement all at the same time. You build the end-all and be-all of Little Free Libraries (official rules will be emailed to you upon registration at Eventbrite). Keep track of your materials and create instructions for assembly as you go. On April 29th, bring your beautiful book building to our studio for exhibition. Email us your material list and assembly instructions by April 30th. On May 1, we'll open our doors to the community so everyone can see your handiwork. A panel of judges will name a winner, and the guests will select a "People's Choice" winner. The kickoff party will feature literary-themed food, drinks and tunes from DJ Mahf. The libraries will be on display through the end of May.

At the end of the month, the libraries will be turned over to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. The officers will place the the libraries throughout the city to promote literacy and community engagement with the people the officers serve. Your library plans, meanwhile, will be given to the Little Free Library organization for distribution to bookworms who want to recreate your little library masterpiece.

Your $50 registration fee covers your official Little Free Library charter number and registering it on the map.
