The nerve center behind one of Hudson’s most popular exports will be opening its doors to the public.

Little Free Library will be holding its first-ever open house on Monday, Oct.12. The event, which runs from 1-7 p.m., will be held at Little Free Library’s headquarters at 573 County A, Suite 106, in Hudson.

Visitors will have the chance to meet staff at the nonprofit organization and get a look at unique creations, including a custom-made Little Free Library decorated by “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening. The event will also have micro-library kits for sale, along with offers for special-edition products.

Little Free Library has helped establish more than 32,000 miniature libraries placed in communities around the world, where people exchange books at a neighborhood level. The nonprofit recently launched its Literacy-Friendly Neighborhood campaign, which aims to broaden literacy efforts through Little Free Libraries.
