From 1 to 50,000
Steward #1 meets Steward #8424 (left)
I had drinks last night with Little Free Library executive director Todd Bol (also Steward of Little Free Library Charter #1) and he said he was out visiting California for the dedication of Little Free Library Charter number 50,000 in Santa Ana today! You heard that right: 50,000!
Considering that I registered #8424 about two years ago now, this is humongous growth! Todd reported that it took about two years before he felt his own Little Free Library began to take off sometime in 2013 if I recall correctly. Mathematically this is the definition of exponential growth.
What’s even more impressive is that the best guess at Little Free Library Headquarters in Wisconsin is that approximately 10% of LFLs don’t officially register and have placards, so there are actually well in excess of 50,000.
Yesterday, the Little Free Library Twitter account made the official announcement and said they’d be doing a livestream on Facebook to celebrate the unveiling. Be sure to tune in today at noon Pacific.
Tomorrow. Noon PT. We’re so excited to unveil the 50,000th #LittleFreeLibrary, and you can watch on live Facebook video as we do! pic.twitter.com/qyJtIwWYz2
