Little Library
Share a Book. Share Encouragement.
The Little Library is one way we serve our community with generosity.
Sharing Books, Encouragement, and Opportunity
At Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church, our Little Library is a simple way to share the gift of reading with the community.
Books can open minds, encourage hearts, inspire imagination, and create lifelong learning. This small library is one way we seek to bless neighbors through generosity and kindness.
Take a book. Leave a book. Share the joy of reading.
How It Works
Blessing Box & Little Library Location
The Blessing Box and Little Library are located together on the church property at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church near the back parking lot, to the right of the Family Life Center, beside the trees.
They are placed next to each other for easy access and are available to the community.
Look for the colorful boxes on the church grounds.
You are welcome to:
- Take a book to enjoy
- Leave a book to share
- Exchange books anytime
- Discover something new
There is no cost and no sign-up required.
Books for All Ages
We welcome a variety of books, including:
- Children’s books
- Young adult books
- Fiction
- Non-fiction
- Inspirational books
- Family-friendly reading
Book availability changes often based on donations.
Why It Matters
Reading can build confidence, create opportunity, and provide comfort.
Sometimes a single book can encourage a child, inspire an adult, or brighten someone’s day.
Small acts of kindness often have lasting impact.
How You Can Help
You can support the Little Library by donating clean, gently used books in good condition.
Children’s and young adult books are especially appreciated.
If the library is full, please contact the church for additional donation options.
A Blessing to the Community
Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church serves Pleasant Grove, western Birmingham, Jefferson County, and surrounding communities.
We are grateful to share books, learning, and encouragement with our neighbors.
Come and See
We believe churches can be places of hope in many simple ways—and sometimes hope looks like a free book waiting to be opened.
