Albuquerque to encourage 'Little Free Libraries' in city

In this April 21, 2020, photo, a full little free library sits outside of a grocery store in Placitas, N.M. Across the United States, volunteers are reporting a jump in usages of official and unofficial tiny popups known as little free libraries as readers look to pass the time amid COVID-19 health restriction. From the American Southwest to New England, little free libraries made of wood or brick, placed in front of parks or in the trunk of a car, have seen their small spaces overwhelmed with books.
