New Port Richey recently welcomed the unveiling of a delightful addition to its Recreation & Aquatic Center: a “Little Free Library” – a cozy book-sharing nook designed to foster a love for reading within the community. Sponsored by the New Port Richey Public Library, this marks the fourth such installation in the city, joining existing locations at Jasmin Park, James E. Grey Preserve, and Cotee River Park.
Our mission at Little Free Library is to expand book access. Book bans go against our core values. Thank you to the librarians & teachers working to make quality literature available to all. We encourage YOU to share a good book in a #LittleFreeLibrary today! #bannedbooks

The library, with its open-door policy, encourages residents to share and exchange books freely, promoting literacy and camaraderie.
