Little Free Library
Sharing Stories,
Building community
At Community of Christ Anaheim, we believe that every story matters. One way we live out that belief is through our Little Free Library—a small but meaningful space on our grounds where neighbors can freely share books, ideas, and encouragement with one another.
The Little Free Library is more than just a wooden box filled with books. It is a place where children can discover new worlds, adults can find resources and inspiration, and friends and strangers alike can connect through the simple joy of reading. Anyone is welcome to “Take a Book, Leave a Book,” creating a cycle of generosity that strengthens our neighborhood.
Rooted in Our enduring Principles
The vision of a Little Free Library is a natural expression of Community of Christ’s Enduring Principles.
Every person deserves access to stories that inspire, educate, and empower. By offering books at no cost, we affirm the value of each individual’s mind and spirit.
Sharing books draws us closer together. It creates opportunities for conversations across generations, cultures, and experiences.
We believe God is still speaking, and sometimes those glimpses of divine truth come through the stories we share, the ideas we encounter, and the wisdom we pass along.
Supporting Our Mission Initiatives
The Little Free Library also ties directly into Community of Christ’s Mission Initiatives.
A welcoming space where neighbors gather naturally becomes a place of friendship, conversation, and spiritual connection.
Books are a form of nourishment for the mind and spirit. By offering free access, we help reduce barriers to education and imagination.
Each book donated is a gift of love and learning, an act of generosity that blesses both the giver and the reader.
Sharing stories fosters understanding, empathy, and respect. These are all values that help build peace in our community.
