Promoting a Love for Reading
The Little Free Library at Mars Hill United Methodist Church is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Located in the parking area next to the street and west of the entrance to the church at 201 South Main Street in Mars Hill, N.C., the library offers free books for children, youth and adults.

Founded through a collaboration between Mars Hill University student Jordan Hulsey, retired Madison County educator Connie Kramer and Mars Hill United Methodist Church, the Little Free Library was created to expand access to reading in the heart of our community. The library sits near Mars Hill University, within steps of a preschool and retirement home, making it an accessible ministry for neighbors of all ages.
The Little Free Library operates on a simple idea: take a book, share a book.
Anyone is welcome to stop by, borrow a book, leave a book or help keep the library stocked for others.

As part of our church’s commitment to love and serve our neighbors, the Little Free Library is one more way we share hospitality, learning and care with the Mars Hill community. The ministry is located next to Mars Hill’s Little Free Food Pantry, another community outreach effort hosted on our church campus.
