Vision
St. Pete Shush
Established July 3, 2020
Executive Summary: We produce and distribute Little Free Libraries throughout Pinellas County, connecting them to local curators. We administer and support the resulting community of stewards, collectively known as a shush.
Vision Statement: Every person should have equal access to quality literature and educational materials. Every person should have the opportunity to feel joy in sharing literature with others.
