The drive-throughs are hosted by the USVI Little Free Library Initiative (LFL), in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) and the USVI Department of Tourism. The COVID-19 pandemic has limited access to the physical Little Free Library units throughout the territory, so the LFL team decided to bring the books to the people.

Books are available for children from birth to 15 years of age and families will receive a pre-packed bag of 3-4 books per child.

The event is free and no registration is required.
