LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES

Little Free Libraries help grow opportunity—one book, one neighbor, one block at a time.
United Way supports Little Free Libraries across the Greater Baytown Area and Chambers County to expand access to books and strengthen the communities where we live, work, and raise families. These neighborhood book-sharing boxes remove barriers, spark learning, and build connection—because when we show up for one another, United is the Way.

How this supports our Focus Areas:

• Youth Opportunity: Encourages early literacy and learning habits that help kids succeed in school and beyond.

• Healthy Community: Supports lifelong learning and family engagement that strengthen overall well-being.

• Financial Security: Provides free access to books and resources—helping families stretch budgets while supporting education at home.

• Community Resilience: Builds stronger, more connected neighborhoods where people share, support, and look out for one another.

You can help by:

• Purchasing a new book from our Amazon booklist

• Donating new and very gently used children’s books (early readers through middle grade are always needed)

• Hosting a workplace or community book drive to keep local boxes stocked

• Volunteering to help restock and care for Little Free Libraries in your area (sign up through our Volunteer portal)
