what a lovely find! ❤️ visited a friend at Wigan Infirmary this week on the walk back… stumbled across a Little Free Library! ❤️📚 Did a bit of digging: the first one was built in 2009 by Todd H. Bol in Wisconsin, USA, as a tribute to his mum, a teacher who loved books. Now there are 200,000 in 128 countries! The idea is simple: take a book if you want one, leave a book if you’ve got one… it’s all free ❤️ This one’s on Tennyson Drive, in Swinley, but there are loads more around Wigan. Comment if
