Our newest LFL is located in Griffin Park near the playground swings. It's filled with children's books for your reading pleasure. Take a book home or read while taking a break from play.
Pick up some free books and start reading! We've placed a Little Free Library at the bus stop on the corner of Piermont and Hillside, across from the Tenafly Classic Diner. Visitors are encouraged to take a book as they pass by!
