Established in 2013 with a generous $30,000 start-up grant from The Stocker Foundation (with the Lorain County Educational Service Center serving as fiscal agent), the Lorain County Little Free Library (LCLFL) initiative has blossomed into a vital community resource.

As a proud member of a global movement encompassing over 175,000 registered book-sharing boxes across 128 countries, LCLFL faithfully implements the vision of founder Todd H. Bol. Before his passing in October 2018, Bol frequently visited Northeast Ohio, personally ensuring the program's authentic and heartfelt implementation.

Through the dedication of more than 60 volunteers, this grassroots effort distributes thousands of books annually throughout Lorain County. LCLFL's mission centers on fostering reading literacy, igniting a passion for books among readers of all ages, and ensuring accessible, high-quality children's literature throughout diverse communities in Lorain County.
