The SISU Program has a goal of installing 25 Little Free Libraries around the City of Lawrence.
During the summer of 2020, SISU participants were tasked with developing a community service project that addressed a social need while working within the social and public health climate caused by the pandemic. Reflecting on their own interests and needs, as well as those of their own children and younger siblings, they identified literacy education as an area they wished to focus on. Through research and regional connections, SISU came across the Little Free Library Project. With SISU’s experience building affordable housing, the Little Free Library Project was the perfect fit. A small team of proven risk Lawrence young people has been working with SISU’s Construction team to design and build the libraries.
