Little Free Library is a national non-profit program that facilitates volunteers to install and curate lending libraries in their community. Charlestown is home to several Little Free Libraries where residents can browse as well as leave books for others. The Little Free Library outside the high school is curated for teens, with members of Turn It Around providing advice to the Friends to help purchase relevant books for that audience.
