Portland's "Sidewalk Joy" Program Takes off from Little Free Libraries

The Little Free Library movement has inspired people to create free public activities and opportunities for strangers, such as art galleries, dog stick libraries, and even a bocce court.

You can think of these expansions of the Little Free Library movement as a Sidewalk Joy trend. People feel inspired to bring joy to passersby who need free experiences that help us feel like we're part of communities.

Portland, Oregon goes all out on Sidewalk Joy. You can follow a map to walk through the city and find opportunities to take and share toy cars, jigsaw puzzles, toy dinosaurs, or play miniature golf.
