You may have seen a smaller Little WORLD Charity display since they are in 21 locations across the NC Triangle.  The purpose of this 100% volunteer effort is to bring joy to kids needing medical care and to encourage literacy.  Coincidentally, the first of these locations was the Durham Main Library in 2014; you will find the current display just outside the train exhibit room. The huge train display is an offshoot that was inspired by some large train collection donations. 

Special thanks to the Gunto family, FitchLumber.com,Trainz.com, Polymershapes.com, and Uhaul.com for making this exhibit possible!
