Using the Library

How to Use the Little Free Diverse Library

Pick out a book from this library. You may choose to read it here at the park, or bring it home with you. You can return it when you are done, or you can choose to keep it as your very own. You may even decide to pass it along to a friend!

You are welcome to contribute books to the library that center the experiences of diverse communities, including people of color, especially Black and indigenous folks, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and multilingual communities.

Each book curated by our volunteers has a special bookplate inside (see image below) so that you and everyone who you share it with understands the intention behind this library in our beloved community of Natick, Massachusetts.
