We have to keep these kids reading.
This Little Free Library is on Hartsville Lane.
That has been made a lot more difficult now that we don’t have easy access to our school libraries or the public libraries. BUT… we DO have an abundance of Little Free Libraries.
I’m sure you’ve heard about these. Basically, they’re exactly what the name says: diminutive libraries packed with books and magazines free for the taking. They look kind of like large birdhouses (or some other fancy design) with wide Plexiglas front doors, stuck on top of a pedestal, and can be found in front yards, at community centers, near schools and parks.
The idea is simple. You go up to one of these book boxes, poke through the books, choose one you want, and take it home. When you’re done with it, you can return it, or perhaps replace it with another one.
There’s a website you can visit to see where all of the officially registered Little Free Libraries are located. But I know for a fact that there are a lot more little libraries in our town than are on that map — ’cause it costs money to register them. For example, many of our schools have one outside.
So why not check out the map and start your own Little Free Library tour? It’s a great way to keep getting “new” books for your whole family.
P.S. Don’t be afraid to extend your search into our neighboring towns. Irondequoit and Penfield, for example, have a whole bunch of Little Free Libraries.
