We are excited to get our new Little Free Library up and running! The library was a 1971 United Church pulpit from Frelton, Ontario. It’s been fun giving it a new life. We were very sad when someone vandalized our old LFL but excited to bring this new version of the Mountain Grove Little Free Library to the neighbourhood.

A little bit about why I have a Little Free Library !

Your doesn’t have to end after graduation! Alumnus Rishia Burke (MA’ 93) came to Waterloo after her undergrad at U of T with questions about leisure and quality of life, and she left with a passion for community development. This passion is still fuelling Rishia today, both in her work as the Director of Community Development at Community Living Brant, and in her personal life as a proud owner of a .

A is a citizen organized book exchange, where the libraries come in all shapes and sizes, but the invitation is the same. Community members can take, return, or share a book, with no fee associated. A highlight Rishia’s library has been an informal popsicle event for neighbours to gather by the library, chat, and have a popsicle on a hot summer night. When Rishia was in the REC Department she was introduced to “asset-based community development,” a framework that focuses on citizens helping citizens by sharing their gifts and passions, without agencies being involved. This framework has shaped Rishia’s career, and her Little Free Library allows her to put it into practice in her own neighbourhood.

Acts of community can be simple, but they are so often overlooked. Rishia says “when we share and receive one another’s gifts we enter into the possibility of finding connection and belonging, and that’s an essential part of good health and a good, resilient life.”

What gift or passion can you share to make a in your community this spring?

So excited to put this new book into the today! Inspired and informed by our wonderful neighbours in celebration of Limb Difference Awareness Month!

In April we celebrate people who have limb differences. Some people are born without limbs - perhaps they they do not have a hand, arm, foot or leg. Some people may have lost a limb or limbs because of an accident or illness.

Kids or adults with limb differences or amputations may look a bit different.

They can still do many things just like people without limb differences can do. It just might look a bit different!

Being different is awesome! You can learn about it in this children’s book by Ryan Haack Living One-Handed
