Todd Bol started the little free library in 2009 on his front lawn by simply inviting neighbors and friends to take and share a book. The concept was well received and spread very quickly with more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries worldwide as of today.
“If I may be so bold, I’m the most successful person I know,” Bol, with a sideways smile, told the newspaper. “Because I stimulate 54 million books to be read and neighbors to talk to each other. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the very definition of success.” – In an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune
