We’re
deeply saddened to report that the Founder of Little Free Libraries, Todd H.
Bol, passed away Thursday, October 18.
Todd spent
much of the last decade working towards his vision of a world where neighbors
know each other by name, and everyone has access to books. He was heartened by
the network of more than 75,000 Little Free Library stewards around the world
dedicated to literacy and community. If you would like to leave your own memory or thanks click here and share.
Todd was
more than just the creative force behind Little Free Library. He was a teacher,
a lifelong entrepreneur, a father and a husband. He is survived by his wife
Susan, daughter Allison and son Austin. Austin said, “He was the best, most
generous, goofy, and kind person. He taught us to be kind to others. To many he
was an innovator and genuine change maker. To us, he was dad. We will miss him
always.”
“I really
believe in a Little Free Library on every block and a book in every hand. I believe
people can fix their neighborhoods, fix their communities, develop systems of
sharing, learn from each other, and see that they have a better place on this planet
to live.” – Todd H. Boll
