About the UWT Little Free Library

The UWT Little Free Library invites library users from our campus community and beyond to swap books with each other. Feel free to browse books from this area, pick up something new to read, or leave your own books that you’ve finished with without worrying about checkouts and due dates. 
 

Where is the UWT Little Free Library?

You can find it on the fourth floor hallway of the Tioga Library Building outside the silent study area and library stacks. Feel free to visit, but please be respectful of people studying.

Who is the program for?

All members of the community without restrictions or membership requirements.

What kinds of books can I bring?

Any gently used books you want! Novels, comics, academic nonfiction, and textbooks are all welcome as long as you’re ready to part with them. Leaflets, flyers, pamphlets, and other self-published promotional or informational materials will be removed.

Library staff who look after the Little Free Library will periodically inspect the books and the Little Free Library  area for cleanliness and adherence to the library’s code of conduct.

How does it work?

Anyone may take a book – the books are always free. You can also donate gently used, personal copies of books. Please note that the books in this area are not from the UW Tacoma Library’s collection – items with call numbers and markings showing that they’re library property still need to be checked out.

Why is this a thing?

Because reading brings people together! This space gives us a place where books can be read and shared with folks on campus and in the greater Tacoma area. Get connected with other readers by joining one of the Library’s book clubs – Real Lit and Any Book Book Club.
