2 . “Take a book, give a book.” That’s the idea behind the Little Free Library. Then what is a Little Free Library?

Unlike traditional libraries, it is not a building to borrow books from a librarian (图书馆管理员). Little Free Libraries come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common one is a small box of books. When you find one book, you can take it home. If you have a book to share, you can leave it for someone else to read, too.

Little Free Libraries are everywhere: outside homes, inside shopping centers, beside coffee shops. The first Little Free Library was built by Todd Bol in front of his home in Wisconsin, the USA in 2009. It had free books anyone could enjoy. It became popular.

Three years after building his library, Bol and his friend Rick Brooks started Little Free Library, a non-profit organization (非营利组织). Soon, Little Free Libraries became more popular all over the world. Now there are more than 80,000 Little Free Libraries in more than 90 countries.

Umayr Ansari, a 10-year-old boy from Doha, Qatar, put a Little Free Library outside his home. He said, “There weren’t many libraries in my neighborhood. I had a lot of books, and I wanted to share them so people who didn’t have their own books could have a chance to read.”

8 . Every night, just after the sun goes down. Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin, Ireland, and takes a picture of them at their windows.

These photos, in some way, show people’s lives during the global pandemic (大流行病).

“I started out taking photos of just friends and family. In this way, I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home” the photographer explained. “I live alone, so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends. Every evening, on my way to see my friends, I had a sense of purpose.”

Now she’s making new friends. The photo project has taken off online, and she has opened it up to volunteers. But they must be the people who live within 5 kilometers of her home—the Irish government doesn’t allow people to go farther out than that.

“I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers” Ruth said. “I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark but two if I talk a lot—which I love to do.”

She said “More and more neighbors are joining in my photo project and it has now got a name Love at Home.”

“I think people like knowing that they’re not alone even if they have to stay at home and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos” she said. “It also a different view (视角) of the pandemic: the more human view. Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us, it shows that it has given us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together.”

“I think we’d love most to find something nice even in the most serious situation as it is now.” Ruth said.

10 . Anna Brown was an artist who believed that it was important to help others. When she heard of a summer camp for children with serious illnesses, she came up with an idea. It cost money for these kids to go to camp, so Anna decided to see what she could do to help. It was impossible for her to donate (捐赠) a lot of money, so she had to think of another way.

She wanted to take advantage of her love of art. So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids. Because these cards were all handmade, it would take her a long time to make a lot of them. So Anna had another idea. She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards. At first her friends were uncertain about it. Many said that they were not artistic and didn’t know how to make cards. But once they saw the beautiful materials that she had in her workroom, her friends felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card.

But the materials were expensive. To make cards without spending too much money, Anna asked for and got donations of paper, glue, scissors, and other things from nearby stores.
