As a librarian for over twenty-five years the steward, Matt Gullett, has always wanted to create and place a free library near his home. The library itself was a whole family project of construction, painting, and collection building. We enjoy living in Tacoma, WA and wanted to connect without neighborhood in some way. Our hope is that this library will connect with neighbors and folks just walking through our area.

We just loved this idea when we heard of it but didn't dream of having one in our front yard! Then one day, a friend from church said that he's like to make us a Little Free Library for or house and the Hilltop. Wow! We are now one of the lucky recipients of such a wonderful community gift! Our neighborhood loves it and we already have an awesome librarian (a fourth-grader on the block)!
