Micro libraries
A few years ago in the small village
o f Westbury-sub-Mendip in the
south of England the mobile
library stopped coming. For the
local people, borrowing books
became difficult since the nearest
library was about six and a half
kilometres away. At the same time,
the traditional red public phone
box in the village was about to be
sold. However, one of the villagers
came up with an unusual way
to solve both problems: a village
committee bought the phone box
for £1, adapted it and turned it into
a library.
The .ibrary has four shelves and
local residents donate their own
books. The principle is simple:
bring a book to the library that
you’ve read, leave it for someone
else to read and borrow a book
you haven’t read. There’s even a
chilcren’s section: a small red plastic box on the phone
box :loor! It’s open all year round, 24 hours a day.
The .ibrary has become a popular place with everyone
in the village but it’s been particularly good for the older
resicents because some o f them have found it difficult
to make the journey to the nearest library. W hen they’ve

finished the book they’re reading, they just w alk down
the road and have a look. There’s always something new
and nteresting that someone’s just left. They have to be

a group of people responsible for making

give things you don’t need to a person or an
organization
that a lot of people like
the number of things available to borrow,
sell or buy

quick though because the good
titles have usually gone within
minutes!
There is a very fast turnover of
books and the stock is constantly
changing. The library has a
wide range of genres suitable
for everyone: biographies, crime
novels, reference books. A local
couple cleans the library and

someone checks the stock on a
regular basis. If books have stayed
on the shelves for more than a few
weeks, then they usually go to a
local charity shop.
The U K is not the only place where
micro libraries are popular. In the
USA, Todd Bol set up the The Little
Free Library after his mother died.
She was a teacher and she loved
books and was always keen to
encourage other people to read more.
In honour of his mother, Todd built a small waterproof
box at the end of his drive and put books in it for people to
borrow and to leave a book of their own. His simple idea
has now grown into an international community-based
book project and it has developed in 36 different countries.
There are now about 5 or 6,000 Little Free Libraries around
the world which means that people have borrowed about
1,650,000 books since the scheme began in 2010.
Have a look around, maybe there’s a micro library near you!

■where it is set

Island o f the Blue Dolphins was written by Scott O’Dell and was

■who the main
character is

published in 1960 .
Set on an island off the coast of southern California in the
1800 s, it tells the story of a young Native American girl called

Karana, whose tribe have all been taken to the mainland.

As well as looking for food and making clothes, she has to build
herself a new home.3__________________________________________


At one point, she makes a canoe and tries to leave the island.

A group of blue dolphins surround her canoe and guide her
back safely. She then gets used to life on the island and learns
to live in harmony with the animals.
Then, one day, some people come to the island, and she develops
a close friendship with one of them.5___________________________

It’s a great adventure story and it’s also about survival. I would
recommend this book to older teenagers.
