As a lifelong book lover—and your local publisher—there’s something magical about the Little Free Libraries scattered throughout Mount Clemens. Each one is a small but powerful symbol of community, creativity, and the joy of sharing stories.
These delightful boxes, found in parks, front yards, and near schools, invite readers of all ages to “take a book, leave a book.” Some are simple and hand-painted, while others, crafted by local residents and skilled artisans, add a whimsical touch to your neighborhood stroll.
Many were generously donated by the Mount Clemens Optimist Club and are lovingly maintained by volunteer stewards. Children’s books are always in high demand, but you’ll also find novels, biographies, and unexpected treasures perfect for summer reading.
This feature story highlights just a small sampling—we wish we could include them all! Every Little Free Library in our city has its own unique charm and is absolutely worth visiting.

Feeling inspired? You can even build your own and bring the joy of reading to your block. It’s a beautiful way to connect—and to share a story.
