What is a minibieb?
A minibieb (short for "minibibliotheek") is a small, publicly accessible bookcase where anyone can take a book for free or leave one for others. Most are looked after by a neighbour who keeps the shelves tidy and the door closed against the rain. Minibieb is our name for all of them. The same bookcase goes by other names around the world: straatbieb, book exchange box, Bücherschrank, boîte à livres, street library or Little Free Library®.
Little Free Library® is a registered trademark of Little Free Library, Ltd. Minibieb is not affiliated with them. We just put every one of these bookcases on the map, whatever it is called and wherever you live.
