Overturn and Eliminate Citations to Little Free Libraries based on Zoning Code of Ordinances 106-236.

The Issue

The Little Free Library Shreveport is a community outreach program that encourages reading, literacy and community building.  It is being considered commercial activity and we can all agree that it is not. Trading and/or borrowing books does not generate income. Please sign in show of support of the Little Free Libraries of Shreveport who were recently cited to cease all book sharing activity at one of their locations. Overturn the citation or exclude these community building book sharing centers in hopes that no other book sharing facility be harassed. The day we cannot help and teach our community through good deeds is the day we fall further apart as a society.
