Going Exploring for Books: I went to 10 little library boxes 📚📦 a city book tour vlog
Welcome to the first of hopefully many episodes of exploring little library book boxes in my city! This was such a good day and I found so many lovely books so grab a cup of something and come along as we drive all over searching for good books! The accompanying book haul will be up tomorrow so keep your eyes open :)

I live in a tiny village in Scotland, we have a tiny library called a reading nook. Its basically what you see in this video, accept in an old red phone box as they have no use now (everyone has mobile phones). So if you reach out to local govt you might be able to use a similar disused piece of public property.
This couldn’t be more wholesome. The fact that they created such a lovely and beautiful library and make a trade, is so brilliantly and humanly wholesome.
Love how you want to organize the library boxes! LOL
The great thing about those tiny libraries is that you can take a book you might would not even have considered to buy usually. And if you don’t enjoy the book, you can simply return it the next time. And your mum seems so charming. You look very similar 😊
Me watching the thumbnail with the little library boxes: * a dream I never could live 😩 * Literally in my country it's a dream :(

I love how Emmie is like “I loved this book” and her brother’s like “I liked the movie” or “I hated the movie”… lol classic.
I have let both my sons know that I want a little library for my front yard for my July birthday...one of them definitely has the skill to build it himself....there aren't many in my specific area, so I'm hoping I can inspire others, and help bring the neighborhood together even more. The fact that you can register it and people can locate your library is delightful. This was such a different and wonderful video and it was fun to see your family.

Hi, I know this video is 2 years old, but I'm new to this channel. I hope your birthday wish came true and your son built a Little Free Library for you! All the best. 💕💕
Time to relax to videos of Emma talking about books instead of reading let's goo
The intro is absolutely heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time knowing that i'll never get to spend such a bright beautiful day with emma. ❤️😭😭
this reminds me that i have one little library in my neighborhood and that i should go there soon
i can’t explain how soothing her voice is like omg i want her to like read me a story to fall asleep to lmao
My next door neighbors just put up a Little Library in front of their house and it’s GREAT. I’ve unhauled a bunch of books I’ve finished with and picked up some interesting looking titles in return! Love the warm and fuzzy community feel of them 🥰
I hope you do realise that my heart just stopped for a second when you said about Jane Eyre "This novel is just awful" xD Also, this vlog made me insanely happy, thank you so much for all the good vibes (and books!)

I love these little free library’s! I actually chose to do a project for school trying to get more of these built in lower class areas of my city. Another great vlog Emmie 💕💕
I love little libraries! I try to always carry at least one or two books in my car in case I see one! I never thought of doing a little day of adventuring just to visit a bunch at once! Such a cool idea!
Emma after watching this video, I went on the website and ended up finding a bunch of little free libraries near me! May or may not have dragged my boyfriend to 10 of them already 😂❤️
This just made my day a lot more better💛💛... I wish we had little library boxes here also

I haven’t seen one of these since I left home in Missouri, but my favorite coffee shop where I live now has two book shelves that are a take it leave it situation as well. Love this! Very reminiscent of my childhood.
Oh my gosh, it’s so nice that you did this with your family. 🧡 You and your mum smiling the exact same way is just 🥰🥰
Benjamin! We’ve missed you!!! So glad you had such a nice day with your brother and mother 💜 So lovely to see 🌼
please i beg for a part 2 of this!! im so in love with the concept on little free libraries and i loved how you actually showed what was inside them and talked through it. i wish people would make these here where i live :(
It's wild to me to see how far literature can travel. Nissen is a legend of a professor at my university (WMU in michigan). This makes my heart really full ❤
was having a rough day in ed recovery but this has just brought an absolute smile to my face, you are my comfort youtube 1000% your videos are amazing, keep doing you :)

Cried several times watching this! Especially when you found The Wind in the Willows since I remember you mentioning it before as being one of your favorite warm hugs!
I absolutely love these mini libraries not all ive found are taken care of but ive started reading alot more books and now have a little library of my own. Whom ever came up with this idea is a genius. I have found cds,puzzles and video games in these angel boxes. Lets keep it up my friends its good for the environment too!
I barely ever comment on anything on KZread, but this video was just so pure and delightful.
You and your brother look SO MUCH like siblings. Also, I love the glasses, and also I love wholesome sibling relationships. ❤️ I also love Little Libraries. Great video all around.
The Brothers Karamazov is one of my favourite books! I'm so glad you found such a lovely edition of it xx
I love everything about this video! Little free libraries always give me hope for the world.
One of the best book tube videos I’ve seen. Thanks to you and your family for sharing your day with us.
in the area of toronto i live in there are these on almost every street :) my brothers and i often do this and go for long walks looking for books
This video was so so lovely, Emma ❣️😊 Your mom is the cutest and your dynamic with your brother is so funny lmao. I love the book boxes, they're like little fairylands scattered across the city. Wish we had them in my city 🥺
Please do a part two, I loved this! In my town (England) people have started using the red phone boxes as little libraries, so cute!
Oh this was such a perfect video. Yes please a Part 2 of visiting these little libraries. So wonderful to see your city. Your brother is funny. Both of you could do a joint video channel where you review the book and he reviews the movie of the book.
This is so beautiful! Makes me want to go out and look around for some books in my neighbourhood. 💖💖

dude the thief and the beanstalk is such a goood time and i picked it up because of that cover art too
Going through some of your older vlogs and they really inspire me to start reading again and to try different books! I don't think before I would have strayed too much from what was recommended on the internet via what's trending on booktube or stuff constantly recommended on Reddit's r/books, but now you make me want to just pick up any book and see if it interests me so I can try new things :). Your content is like a warm cup of tea for the heart. Thanks for all the soul you put into your videos!
I love walking around my neighbourhood and checking out the little libraries 😊 this was so fun to watch!

They were talking about it at the gym. I went to chapters and sat in a chair and read it .. couldn't put it down had to buy it.
This was the best video! I really had fun watching you drive around with your mum and bro, looking at all the book libraries in the streets, but also just having the chance to drive through the street of where you all live, which was so nice!! Thank you so much! You'll have to do this again for us one day!
Truly like the idea of Little Library Box, as the activity of it concerns not only the exchange of books and contents/ideas, but also the afterlife for the unused books to have new experiences of being read and touched.
I do this in my neighborhood, there are around eight within biking distance ☺️ I honestly don't usually find things to actually read, but it's still just fun seeing what's there!
omg this is my dream video😭🥰🤗 I absolutely love those library boxes❤️ Thank you Emma❤️
This is so perfect and amazing! I've always put out books for people I no longer read for other people to enjoy, but someday I'll build one of these little libraries to give those books a home! thanks for sharing this magical video
This was so fun!!! Definitely make more little library videos! I love when your family makes an appearance. Your brother is hilarious! 😆
This is such a good idea!! It’s so cool that we have these little libraries in Belgium too!!
The book boxes were definitely awesome but what I love most about this video is how close you are with your family, it really warms my heart
You guys look like twinners! Not only because of the matching glasses. Thanks for taking us on your journey!
I discovered there's 2 little free libraries in my town and a few in next town over cart wait to check them all out!
These are so cute! I wish we had these where I live, but people always just steal all the books :(

It really shows in your videos just how much joy you get out of making them! Loved this beautiful video, and such perfect weather, too! 💛🌼
I’m so sad that if this was to happen where I live they would be vandalised and destroyed. It’s so sweet and wholesome
This was so fun to watch. To see book hunting and what you find in the wild, and all the gorgeous arty free library constructions. I'm inspired to build one and secure it at the front of my country property. I hope it catches on here. I like the idea that I'll have a convenient place to shelve my offloads with the possibility of people adding something interesting, and I can still clear things to charity and what not if they're still in there a year later.
It's my second video of your channel, and i'm so impressed! You feel so good when you see books that it makes me want to read too. I love your channel! Hugs from Brasil ❤
⭐️Dear Emmie, your channel is a true sanctuary for all book lovers in this chaotic dark world. You can't imagine the difference you're making in our lives. Thank you so much!❤️🤗⭐️
This made my day! This was such a cute idea🥺 Definitely found some gems in those little libraries, glad they exist💛 Hope you have a great day :)
Watching this I couldn't help thinking of hummingbird feeders. These little Library boxes are bookbird feeders.
Thank you for taking us along! I loved this! And thank you for telling us about the website. I found so many little libraries in my area that I can't wait to visit! ❤📚
This just warms me! I love how you guys had so much fun doing this.
PLEASE DO A PART TWO OR MAKE THIS A SERIES!!! I LOVED THIS SO MUCHHH
I absolutely love seeing these little libraries in booktube videos! I always pause to see which books I would take haha.
This was so much fun to watch! It makes me want to go look for little libraries around my city
the one that was in lovin memory of someone, this is so cute and heartbreaking at the same time
YES! Dr Zhivago! Looks like so much fun. Yes, more.
I built a little library as a service award. And I got one of my favorite books from there!💗
I’m so happy I came across ur account. Your just so adorable 🥰
What a beautiful and uplifting video, Emmie. Thank you for sharing!
"Start the car! Start the car!" AHAHAHA! Love that commercial. 🤣 I love that you were excited to find Heart of Darkness! **is a Conrad fan** My town doesn't have even one Little Library. 😭 I wish I could afford to set one up myself!
Such a lovely video! I always come back to your videos for the warm-hearted and cozy atmosphere. And it was such a beautiful adventure! I loved exploring books together ❤️
I visit the ones in my neighborhood every week and I never get tired of them :)
I enjoyed visiting those little libraries with you! Good choices! Wish I could ride along as it's hard to get those books in Japan!
We have one of these in my neighborhood, it's adorable and I want to get a book but when I opened it, there were so many cobwebs ( possibly spiders) 😖so now I'm going to force my dad to put his hand in there for me 😂
You won't believe this, but this became a HEALING VIDEO for me!! Thank you ❤️💜
this is the loveliest thing ever! my heart feels so warm right now. thank you, emma. always ♡ eta: oh my the karamazov brothers *chef's kiss*
the whole shot with you being like “listen! you have to be safe!” is such a mirror of my and my younger brother. we have a three year age gap and he’s getting to the age where he’s being more independent and taking more risks, and i have to rein him in sometimes lmao
This is such a lovely video. I, too, enjoy being a book fairy. I have two Little Free Libraries at my house, and it just makes me so happy when I see people taking and leaving books.
I really loved this! really inspired me to check out any Library boxes near me and maybe build my own for my neighborhood!
I’m here from Instagram and so excited 😂❤️
First time I saw one of this was 2 years ago in Kennebunkport, USA. I totally loved! I'm from Madrid (Spain) and I love these... I wish I could find one in my city 😍
Firstly…Beautiful video! Secondly…love love that green chair!! And last, I’ve been thinking about putting up a little library in my area. And seeing this video just confirmed I should stop thinking and do it. Thank you 🙏
I literally said OH MY GOSH at the same time as you (and the same tone!) when you showed the Brother Karamazov hardcover 😍😭 such a steal!! ✨
I literally JUST found one not too far from my house about 3 days ago and I’ve been SO excited to go check it out!!! Can’t wait for the weekend and love that these are popping up closer to me!! 💕💕
I've only watched the intro so far and I alrdy love how wholesome this is 🥺😍
This was cute. We have one in our town. But it gives me an idea of what to do with a few books I have once I read them that I know I won't need to hang onto.
Books are like candy and you want more. I just got heroes of Olympus the lost hero the other day. What a good find
I knew that my town had one because I drive by it fairly often but because of that website I’ve discovered there’s actually 14!!
i keep coming back here, this is my comfort video now. and oh i would love to see you book thrifting and do commentaries (?) like this, its insightful but also funny at the same time :D
Yes!!! Please do more videos of the Little Libraries, this was awesome. Loved that your mom and brother did this with you.
I know one of these little libaries in my town and i'm going there now because of this video
