Tucson has tons of Little Free Libraries. Here's a (partial) list.

Tucson has dozens of Little Free Libraries. 

So many that when we asked you on Instagram to tell us about a little library in your neighborhood, we got more than 90 comments. NINETY YOU GUYS.

There aren't 90 tiny libraries listed here, but there are nearly 50. Also, many of these aren't even on the official Little Free Library map, so if you want to find even more little libraries near you, go here. That's because even if a library is officially registered with the nonprofit Little Free Library, inclusion on the map isn't a requirement. 

The premise of a Little Free Library is simple. Take a book to read and bring one back to share. The Little Free Library website has a guide for installing a library at your own home — just be sure you check any HOA restrictions, if that applies to you.

If you already have a library in your neighborhood and want to stock it with books, Bookmans wants to help. The store is already working with more than 30 little libraries around Tucson to keep them supplied with good reads, says James Robertson, the marketing coordinator for Bookmans East.

If you want in, email the Bookmans in your area:  east@bookmans.com, midtownevents@bookmans.com or northwestevents@bookmans.com. 

We know this is not a comprehensive list, so if we missed the little library in your neighborhood, email the cross streets and a photo to jwillett@tucson.com and we'll add it to this list!

So far, we have more than 40 listed here. 📚
