The Spark: Your Laundromat Could Be a Library
Reported byReasons to be Cheerful ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The Laundromat Library League, an all-volunteer network launched over a decade ago, now operates book displays in more than 200 laundromats across the country, providing free age-appropriate reading material to children in communities where they spend time with families, with locally managed selections reflecting ethnic diversity and multiple languages.
Research shows access to books in these settings can increase literacy engagement, though the article does not track long-term reading outcomes.
