Episode Synopsis

In this Book Bits Bits Episode, Lisa discusses Little Free Libraries, books as graduation gifts, and gearing up for summer reading. Little Free Libraries is a non-profit group that markets these libraries and anyone who uses the name pays a registration free. There are more than 50,000 little free libraries. A new study criticizes the movement and says book sharing is more complicated than it needs to be right now.
