Books belong everywhere.
Small community book exchanges, built and placed in Guyana so children, families and neighbours can discover a book whenever they pass by.

Each library has its own story, but the rule is the same: take what you’ll read, share what you can.
Dora River Landing
Our first library began as a woodworking project: measuring, cutting, assembling, painting and finally turning a pile of lumber into a small weather-protected home for books.

For the second location, we used a Little Free Library kit—another practical way to get a durable book exchange into a community and keep the network growing.
The first build
The Dora River Landing library started with basic woodworking: measure twice, line up the pieces, fasten the frame, fit the shelves, then paint and finish it for outdoor use.
The build itself became part of the project—learning how something useful can move from an idea on a workbench to a shared object in a community.

Dora River Landing
Once the first library was finished, stocked with books and mounted at Dora River Landing, it was ready for its real job: putting books within easy reach of the community.
How it works
A neighbourhood library works because everyone helps keep the books moving.
See something you’d like to read? Take it home.
Keep it as long as you need. Enjoy it. Share it with someone else.
When you can, add a good book so the next reader finds something too.

Our Guyana libraries are part of a worldwide network of community book exchanges. Search the official Little Free Library map by location, charter number, or your current location.
What comes next
The first two are open. The goal is to keep learning, building and placing libraries where a small box of books can make a real difference.
