The Mothers’ Center of Central New Jersey is a local nonprofit. In an effort to share books, bring families together and create communities of readers, they recently placed a Little Free Library in Unami Park which is located in Cranford, Garwood, and Westfield. The public is now free to stop by and pick up or exchange a book.
Little Free Libraries are being installed all over the country. The book exchanges have grown to 36,000 around the world in 70 countries. Locally, you can find little libraries popping up on front lawns.
Group member Nicole Eng stated “One of our missions at the Mothers’ Center is to pursue opportunities to make the local community a better place for moms and their children and partners. By installing a Little Free Library in our local park, it is our hope this this Little Free Library will bring the surrounding communities together through literacy.”
