The Tiny Library Project 

The benefits of reading are limitless and include gaining valuable knowledge, exercising the brain, improving focus, communication, and memory skills, being entertained, reducing stress, and improving mental health. This project provides our community with easier access to reading materials from children and young adults.

We are reaching out to the community to donate materials to make our tiny library “stand.” See below for the materials we need. We will also be coordinating volunteers to build and maintain TEN(10)  library boxes throughout the island. STAY TUNED FOR THE BUILDING DAY ANNOUNCEMENT!

This is a great opportunity to meet new people and come together for a great cause!

We're targeting our book stand build-out day for December 2024

​

if you're interested in helping out, please what's app Victor at (671)777-5732.

​

Every month we need volunteers to help cycle out the books at each stand. Volunteers will be tasked to select a few books from our inventory and distribute them to each stand. 

​

Volunteers will inspect books and maintain the cleanliness of the stands. 

We are accepting requests for Tiny Librarys to be installed around the island. 

​

Our goal is to build 10 libraries so we need 10 locations. 

​

We are targeting locations where the community can access the books at any time and in areas that are experiencing a higher percentage of poverty. 

​

We believe restaurants are another great location for our book stands, because its a great time for people to read while they wait for their order. 

​

If you are interested in being a partner or you would like to request for a book stand to be placed in your neighborhood, please contact our team by emailing support@inspiremarianas.org
