Cost of Donation

To maintain a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look throughout the city, we have chosen a single official Little Free Library model for all installations. The cost for each Little Free Library, including the model and installation, is $603.31. This investment ensures durability, weather resistance, and registration on the Little Free Library world map, making it easy for residents to locate and enjoy.

For those who wish to add a personal touch, we also invite community members to build and decorate their own Little Free Library. Your creativity can shine as you design a unique library that reflects your personality or honors a special theme. To ensure that these libraries remain consistent with the city’s program and standards, we ask that custom designs be pre-approved by the City of Port St. Lucie before installation. This process helps maintain a sense of harmony while still celebrating individuality and creativity.

Payment Method: For those opting for the official Little Free Library model, please make your check payable to the City of Port St. Lucie. Your contributions will help us maintain consistent and welcoming libraries that foster a sense of unity and community pride across Port St. Lucie.

Whether you choose the official model or create a one-of-a-kind library, your dedication to spreading the joy of reading will leave a lasting impact on our community!
