Another adorable teeny tiny library has popped up in a Cork village

By Yay Cork February 8, 2022February 8, 2022

Bring a book, take a book.

That’s the simple ethos behind the latest pop-up library to appear in a Cork village.

No larger than a cupboard, Castlemartyr’s Free Little Library is a miniature library where locals can drop off whatever books they are finished reading and choose a new title to take home.

Created by Castlemartyr Family Carers and Disability Group, the colourful hut is one of a number of teeny tiny libraries dotted around the county.

Saw another real cute ‘Free Little Library’ in Castlemartyr #Cork yesterday

I love how these wee gems are popping up in the most random of places ❤📚

Other exchanges are in operation in Upper Glanmire, Clonakilty, on Stephen’s Street in Cork City and Ballincollig’s Regional Park.

We can’t get enough of them.
