Lakehaven Little Free Library & Giving Shelf - Charter #217334

Take a book, leave a book, love a book, share a book! We have a giving pantry beneath the bookshelf.

Take what you need and give what you can, no questions asked.

1/25/26

We are closed today as the walkway and roads are frozen. We will resume operations when after the thaw. Stat warm!

01/23/2026

1/23/25 — Last call! All canned goods will be moved inside tonight before the freezing temperatures move in. Operations will be reduced to dry goods only, and for the safety of everyone, we reserve the right to temporarily close the box if conditions are too hazardous to safely approach. If roads and walkways are impassable, the porch pantry will be closed.

We have plenty of food, and bags available so that you can shop whatever you need. Make sure you come before 8PM!

Directions: located in the Lakehaven, Farmersville on Murvaul Drive. Blue house with "Free Library" flag in front, house 4002. The porch light will be on all day.

Fair warning, GPS tends to mislabel streets and house numbers in the neighborhood and is likely to take you to the wrong place if that's all you rely on. (They don't call us "Losthaven" for nothing! 😆).

We do, however, have a map with the official Little Free Library that will help you find our street and the box based on landmarks. It is an easy find once you get here!

1/21/25 UPDATE! Come get your food before the storm!

Thanks to the love of our Lakehaven Community, our shelves are STOCKED! We have reorganized the shelves with convienience meals, soups, snacks, and vegetables on the top shelf, and breakfast, dry goods, and baking on the bottom shelf! ❤️

If you are in need of non perishables before the winter storm, please come by TODAY or TOMORROW, grab a bag and take whatever you need! If you must come during the winter storm please take caution, whether you drive, or you walk on the driveway and sidewalks, as the weather may be cold and icy.

During freezing temperatures, all canned goods with high liquid content are moved indoors and the pantry will be limited to dry goods only. This is because in extreme temperatures, canned goods can be prone to freezing, warping, or bursting.

As always, its the blue house on Murvaul with the "Free Library" flag! Hoping everyone stays warm and safe during this cold weather!

Merry Christmas! The shelf is still open today and tomorrow for anything you need. On the adult shelf we just added some Christmas mysteries, and on the food shelf we have hot cocoa sachets and sweet treats! Look for the blue house on Murvaul with the "Free Library" flag out front!

Our porch light will be on all night tonight (and tomorrow as well), in case Santa and his reindeer drop by for a late night snack 🎅🎄🦌

12/17/2025

Due to the weather, all food items from the rolling cart and all picture books on the outside shelf have been moved inside the cabinet! Help yourselves to whatever you need!

12/09/2025

Happy Tuesday! As of Sunday, we've rotated in some new titles to the adult fiction, children's books, and teen books!

We also have more food in our grab-and-go cart full of easy meals. Please come and take whatever you need! Delivery drivers and neighbors from surrounding cities are always welcome. If you have a belly to fill, it's here for you, no questions asked.

If you need help finding us, we are in Lakehaven Farmersville. Find us on the FLL map, which has helpful tips to find our cabinet! (Look for the "FREE LIBRARY" flag at the blue house on Murvaul!)

We have an overflow cart of easy meals, please take whatever you need! Due to the fog, our porch light will be on all day today!

12/06/2025

Good morning! We have an overflow cart today filled with easy meals. Please come and get something to fill your belly!

Good Morning Lakehaven! We are projected to dip below freezing sometime this evening, so we will be moving some pantry items. Glass jars, beverages, or any other product prone to leaking and freezing will be inside until the end of the freeze. Dry goods will still be available on the main shelves. Thank you!

11/26/2025

Good morning! We have a new addition to our set up this morning, a special shelf for your littles! These shelves will usually be out on fair weather, low humidity days so that your kiddos can experience the joy of picking out a book of their own on a shelf they can reach! Come by the shelves on Murvaul on this wonderful almost-Thanksgiving, and pick up a book to enjoy over Turkey Day and the long weekend!

11/25/2025

Thanks to our awesome community, our shelves are stocked! With Turkey Day 🦃 just two days away, we've relocated Thanksgiving staples to the top shelf, right-hand corner for easy access.

We have some cornbread mixes, stuffing mix, evaporated milk and coconut milk, canned hams, veggies and more for your Thanksgiving recipes. Take whatever you need, and be sure to tell family and friends that the porch pantry is open whenever they need it, for as long as supplies last!

As for the bookshelf, it is also currently full! After the Thanksgiving holiday we will be swapping out a few our mysteries for some Christmas books and some additional juvenile fiction. Be sure to stop by to check out the detective stories while you still can!

Happy Thanksgiving!
🍁🍂🍗🏈🙏🍂🍁

Good morning Lakehaven and Lake Lavon, Farmersville, and Princeton area neighbors! Thanks to the kindness of our Lakehaven neighbors, the cupboard is fully stocked!

Feel free to visit any time and take whatever you need from the shelves on Murvaul. The only time you will find the shelves "closed" is during inclement weather and other emergencies, when some or all items may be moved indoors.

We understand our book nook is a little deep on our porch and might be harder to spot; so on fair weather weekends we are looking to bring a book cart to the sidewalk for community "book days" or even taking "book walks" through the neighborhood!

Stay tuned for more information, and as always, take what you need and leave what you can!
