A group of people attending C21's Attention Activism Workshop stand on a city sidewalk facing the street, with their backs to the photographer's camera. They hold up their smart phones as if they were taking pictures of the street, but their phone screens are black.

Flyer for Little Free Library Walking Tour with Human Club

Little Free Library Walking Tour with Human Club

Join us for a walk with the Human Club to explore the Little Free Libraries in our campus community!

April 30, 5:00 – 6:00 PM | Meet outside the SET offices, Student Union E153, 2200 E Kenwood Blvd.

We will start our journey at the UWM Center for Student Experience and Talent in the Student Union. Then, we will head north through the campus neighborhoods, making stops at the Little Free Libraries we find along the way. We will hear from local Little Free Library volunteers about how they set up their libraries and what motivated them to start this project!

The Little Free Library motto is, “Take a Book, Leave a Book.” In the spirit of this motto, we ask that you bring a book (or two!) to donate to a library. Your donation will help keep these neighborhood libraries stocked with stories. 

We invite both pets and children to join us on this adventure. Please be prepared to walk at least a mile as we explore the neighborhood around UWM and share the joy of books!
