Judging by the amount of Little Free Libraries around, Gulfport and surrounding areas have a fair amount of book lovers. And creative builders as well.

Little Free Library is a nonprofit that “inspires a love of reading, builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world,” according to their website.

Find a Little Free Library in your neighborhood at littlefreelibrary.org. Take a book, leave a book.
