LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES PROMOTION HYPES RETURN OF TNT TV SERIES

Debuting this week on the TNT cable network is a spinoff series of the fantasy adventure movies and television show The Librarians which starred Noah Wyle of E.R. fame that were released between 2004 and 2018. All four seasons of The Librarian series are available now to view on Amazon Prime if you didn't catch them during their cable tv run. This new original TNT series premiering on May 25, 2025, THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER features its own cast starring Callum McGowan, Jessica Green, Olivia Morris, and Bluey Robinson.

In THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER, a Librarian from the past time travels to the present and finds himself stuck here. When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given a new team to help him clean up the mess he made, forming a new team of Librarians.

To mark the return of The Librarians, TNT has partnered with 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Little Free Library, to distribute books and custom swag to more than 200 library stewards in their network. Each participating Little Free Library will host a selection of books curated by the Little Free Library team and TNT, including The Librarians tie-in novels, collectible branded bookmark charms and window vinyls. 

You can search for the participating Little Free Library in the Detroit area through their online map starting May 25th. The promotion is scheduled to run for three months. When looking over the Little Free Library map I noticed four participating locations within 2 miles of my house. Check out if there is one near you to take advantage of joining in on this fun promotional event.
