t’s like a mini library, but without the library 

card or late fines.  Destin Commons, in 

partnership with Accent Signs, installed a Little 

Free Library book stand for shoppers of all ages 

to drop off books, as well as select and take home 

books of their choice. It is conveniently located by 

the Guest Services Kiosk in front of the AMC movie 

theater.

Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that 

inspires a love of reading, builds community, and 

sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book 

exchanges around the world. There are more than 

70,000 registered Little Free Library book-sharing 

boxes in all 50 states and 85 countries around the 

world. Millions of books are exchanged each year.

If you take a book from the Little Free Library, you 

may return that book or bring in another. In order to 

keep the Little Free Library full of great choices for 

every book lover, just bring in a few of your recent 

reads to share. Anyone may contribute or take books 

and the Little Free Library book exchange at Destin 

Commons functions on the honor system.  

According to Destin Commons’ Senior 

Director of Marketing and Leasing, 

Heather Ruiz, “The Little Free Library is part of our 

continued effort to provide our community with not 

only the best in shopping, dining and entertainment, 

but to support activities and experiences across all 

aspects of our guests’ lifestyles.”

In addition to the 95+ stores, Destin Commons 

has bowling, movies, and an abundance of dining 

options to keep the family together and entertained. 

Award-winning Destin Commons’ architecturally 

unique 56-acre center features Bass Pro Shops, Belk, 

H&M, Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill, and AMC 

Destin, a 14-screen stadium style movie theatre 

as their anchors, a children’s soft play area, pop 

fountains and free Wi-Fi.
