Little Free Libraries Project

This project was a collaboration with the Center for Disability Resources, the Palmetto Pyramid Police Partnership (P4), and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.  The purpose of the project was to install Little Free Libraries around the state within rural and/or underserved communities to promote better access to quality, consumer-health resources. In addition to purchasing six Little Free Libraries, over 100 books related to developmental disabilities, general consumer health, and childhood trauma were purchased to stock the Little Free Libraries.

The Little Free Libraries were installed at the County Health Departments located in Winnsboro, Greenville, Orangeburg, Saluda, and Kingstree, as well as Mill Creek Elementary in Columbia.

This project has been funded by the SC Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare.
