One of the many things we love deeply about our hometown of Long Beach, Calif., is its vibrant Little Free Library community. More than 80 homes have registered with FreeLittleLibrary.org — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of “unofficial” tiny libraries have popped up outside houses all over town, particularly during the pandemic, and we couldn’t be happier about it. So, in the spirit of holiday fun, we’ve created a scavenger hunt of sorts. We’ve placed 25 of our books in 25 Little Free Libraries throughout the city, and created a Google map to help guide your way.

Councilwoman's daughter reads 'How To Be a Feminist' on Facebook Live
We were so thrilled to see little Jubilee Pearce, daughter of Long Beach Councilwoman Jeannine Pearce feature Maxine’s How To Be a Feminist (For Little Girls & Boys) during a Facebook Live event benefiting the Long Beach Public Library yesterday. We had no idea this was coming, which made it particularly fun.
