Abington's First Little Free Math Library
Math is All Around Us
The Little Free Math Library is a neighborhood spot where math meets fun! Just like a regular Little Free Library, it’s open to everyone—take a book, leave a book, or simply stop by to explore. But instead of only stories, you’ll find math adventures waiting inside—puzzles, games, riddles, and books that show how exciting and creative math can be.
From stories about inspiring mathematicians to activities that connect numbers to everyday life, the library helps kids and families see that math isn’t just homework—it’s part of the world around us. It’s a place to spark curiosity, build confidence, and share the joy of learning together. After all, when math is playful, we discover that math is truly all around us!
