Podcast appearances and mentions of todd bol

Little Free Libraries can be found all over the world — there are more than 175,000 of the miniature libraries on all seven continents, including Antarctica — but this global phenomenon has its roots right here in Hudson.Back in 2009, Hudson resident Todd Bol built the first Little Free Library in honor of his mother and put it in his front yard. After connecting with co-founder Rick Brooks, the two of them helped spread the Little Free Library craze throughout the Midwest and, eventually, around the world. While Todd unfortunately passed away in 2018 from cancer, the legacy he built lives on today. On this week's episode of St. Croix Stories, we're talking all things Little Free Library. We're joined first by co-founder Rick Brooks, whose chance meeting with Todd Bol in Hudson many years ago changed both men's lives. While Rick is no longer officially affiliated with Little Free Library, his name will forever be synonymous with its creation.We'll also hear from Greig Metzger, the current executive director of Little Free Library, as he shares more about the non-profit's mission, its growth, and the future of Little Free Library.To learn more about Little Free Library or to find out how you can start your own library, go to littlefreelibrary.org.Follow St. Croix Stories on Facebook and Instagram, and hear all episodes at stcroixstories.com.

Miranda Paul (@Miranda_Paul) joins to share LITTLE LIBRARIES, BIG HEROES. With more than 75,000 registered Little Free Libraries (LFLs) in eighty-eight countries around the world, there is great chance you’ve passed an LFL in your neighborhood at some point. This simple idea designed to build and support community around reading provides no-cost access to books any time of day and they’ve been popping up in some really unexpected locations, including restaurants, grocery stores, and barbershops as well as those you’ll find nestled into neighborhoods. I was not aware of LFLs’ founders, Todd Bol and Rick Brooks, or that the idea took some time to finally take root.  Reading Miranda’s story feels part love letter to the LFL founders and part reminder that we all have the capacity to be heroes in our neighborhoods. The text in this story is straightforward and empowering, and John Parra’s art brings something more in the form of seamlessly blending together the dreaming and the doing. It’s a book you will want to put in readers’ hands over and over. You can access even more information about this book and its author by visiting www.matthewcwinner.com/podcast.

"The Get-Together" is a podcast about the nuts and bolts of community building. Hosts Bailey Richardson and Kevin Huynh of People & Company ask organizers who have built exceptional communities about just how they did it. How did they get the first people to show up? How did they grow to thousands more members?In 2009, Todd Bol erected the very first Little Free Library book exchange in his front yard in Hudson, Wisconsin. Crafted from an old wooden garage door he didn't want to throw out, Todd built the little library as an ode to his late mother, a schoolteacher and lifelong reader.Todd watched as the simple concept resonated with his neighbors. Soon people were asking Todd for their own little libraries. By the time of Todd's death in October 2018, there were more than 75,000 registered Little Free Library book exchanges around the world in 88 countries.To learn more about how Todd's simple idea turned into a global movement, we caught up with Margret Aldrich, who leads Marketing & Communication for the organization and authored *The Little Free Library Book*.

In 2009, Todd Bol built a small box in the shape of a school, filled it with books and placed it on his front lawn in Wisconsin, in the US. The book exchange soon became a focal point for the community. Now there are more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries in 88 countries across the world, including Sudan, Russia and the UK. They are open to everyone, they never close and have no paperwork or overdue fines. With the motto “Take a book, leave a book”, the aim is to bring people together and get more books into people’s homes.
