Enfield Woman Brings 'Little Free Library' to Neighborhood

The number of Little Free Libraries is growing in Connecticut.

An Enfield woman has launched a "Little Free Library" at her Hillside Avenue home.

Her mission? To share the love of reading through free book exchanges.

"I've always loved books, and I've encouraged my children to read," Mary Fournier told the Connecticut Post. "I'm hoping people come and share their books."
