Little Libraries Everywhere
Bringing books — and the library spirit — to every corner of Stoneham
What if you discovered a great book while walking your neighborhood?
What if a child found their first favorite story at the park?
What if the joy of reading met people where they already are?
Help Make It Happen
Little Libraries Everywhere is a community-powered initiative from the Friends of the Stoneham Library to place small, free book-sharing libraries throughout Stoneham — especially in areas furthest from the Stoneham Public Library.

🏡 Build stronger neighborhood connections
👨👩👧👦 Inspire young readers and families
