The Little Free Library organization began in 2009 when Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin built a miniature model of a one room schoolhouse, filled it with books, and installed it in his front yard, inviting neighbors to take a book or leave a book. The organization became a registered non-profit in 2012, spreading the idea of sharing free books by way of tiny front yard libraries across the country and then globally. Today, the organization is headquartered in Saint Paul, and it estimates that more than 150,000 Little Free Libraries have been installed in about 120 countries world-wide.

Reporter Rob McGinley Myers first noticed the free libraries when he began taking daily walks around his Como Park neighborhood in Saint Paul. He loved looking through the books on offer, but he began to wonder about the people who ran the libraries out of their front yards. So Rob started knocking on doors, asking the little library owners to tell him what inspired them to install their own library and how it had changed their relationship to the neighborhood.

Support for MinneCulture on KFAI is provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

The final volume in the The Library Trilogy, following THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN and THE BOOK THAT BROKE THE WORLD. 

 The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board

The fate of an infinite library hangs on one book, a book that holds the power to break the unbreakable. In the face of such forces, fragile things like hearts, family, and the world seem certain to fail.

The people most vital to Livira are scattered across time and space, lost, divided into factions, in mortal peril. Somehow, she must bring them together and resolve the unresolvable argument that fuels the library’s war. The bond between Livira and Evar has stretched and stretched again. Can it hold at the end, when things fall apart? Can it bring them together against impossible odds?

This is the last chapter, the final page. The end threatens and no one, not characters, readers, or even the author, will emerge unscathed.

Beatriz Hausner llega a Hablemos escritoras con su mirada docta sobre el surrealismo, las figuras del periodo helénico, los sistemas de clasificación y las bibliotecas. Sus libros nos ayudan a imaginar vidas de figuras que han sido olvidadas como en caso de Hipatia y a pensar el deseo y el cuerpo desde el tejido mismo con las palabras. De origen chileno, pero largamente asentada en Canadá, fue bibliotecaria por mucho tiempo y tiene una especialización en historia del libro. Ha traducido a figuras claves del surrealismo hispanoamericano, como César Moro, Olga Orozco, Braulio Arenas. Algunos de sus libros imperdibles son: La costurera y el muñeco viviente , con la hermosísima editorial mexicana Mantis Editores (2012) y She Who Lies Above (Book*hug Press, 2023). Nuestra conversación con ella en la ciudad de Toronto en Glendon College es gracias a Martha Bátiz y Carolina Testa.
