Industrious residents have sprouted Little Free Lending Libraries throughout the City, creatively constructed miniature libraries on the streets to encourage readers to lend books to their neighbors.

Some Little Free Lending Libraries transformed into mini-markets of household staples during sheltering-in-place, inspiring residents to donate essential items to their fellow San Franciscans in need.
