Vision
St. Pete Shush
Established July 3, 2020
Executive Summary: We produce and distribute Little Free Libraries throughout Pinellas County, connecting them to local curators. We administer and support the resulting community of librarians, collectively known as a shush.
Vision Statement: Every person should have equal access to quality literature and educational materials. Every person should have the opportunity to feel joy in sharing literature with others.
Mission Statement: We are creating a network of dedicated librarians who curate Little Free Libraries (LFLs) all around the city. These libraries are filled with a high quality and diverse selection of books that are available to all people for free, regardless of background or status.
