According to a 2018 article, there are now more than 75,000 Little Free Libraries in 88 countries.[4] During Bol's career, he founded an international trade company; Global Scholarship Alliance, which provides nursing scholarships for advanced nursing; and Care Forth, Inc., an entrepreneurial consulting firm.[5] Prior to these ventures, he worked as a public school teacher for five years in Circle Pines and Cambridge, Minnesota.[5] Bol died from pancreatic cancer in 2018 at the age of 62.[6][7] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://littlefreelibrary.org/|title=Homepage|date=2016-11-09|work=Little Free Library|access-date=2018-10-19}} 2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.startribune.com/little-free-library-founder-dies-leaving-a-legacy-of-helping-cities-one-book-at-a-time/497938831/|title=Todd Bol, creator of the Little Free Library movement, dies at 62|work=Star Tribune|access-date=2018-10-19}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/10/18/us/ap-us-obit-little-free-library-founder.html|title=Todd Bol, Founder of Little Free Library Book Sharing, Dies|access-date=2018-10-19}} 4. ^{{cite web |last1=Ross |first1=Jenna |title=Todd Bol, creator of the Little Free Library movement, dies at 62 |url=http://www.startribune.com/little-free-library-founder-dies-leaving-a-legacy-of-helping-cities-one-book-at-a-time/497938831/ |website=Star Tribune |accessdate=October 23, 2018}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddbol/|title=Linkedin Profile for Todd Bol|last=Bol|first=Todd|date=October 19, 2018|website=LinkedIn|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=October 19, 2018}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/obituaries/2018/10/18/little-free-libraries-founder-todd-bol-dies-age-62/1688076002/|title=Todd Bol, Wisconsin man who started the Little Free Library movement, dies at age 62|work=Milwaukee Journal Sentinel|access-date=2018-10-19}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/10/18/little-free-library-creator-todd-bol-dies|title=Little Free Library creator Todd Bol dies|last=Nelson|first=Tim|access-date=2018-10-19}} External links
