Since moving to the area, we've found out that one of the most frustrating things in this city is a lack of easily accessible information. For some reason, people here rely more heavily on social media than anything else. So, in order to make sure that you are able to take advantage of this service, we've opted to go with the flow for now and create a social media page for the little free librarie
s of the area.
1. How it works: Take a book or two or three, whatever interests you. If not, it's okay, take the book(s) anyway. Locations - Ours is at the corner of Victoria and Washington. If you go to About, you can see the exact address. It's refilled daily, as needed. There is another little free library in the middle of the commons at Martin Methodist. If you park by the gym and walk east, you'll run into it eventually. Theirs is bright red. There is a third one on the corner of College and Elm. You won't see it from College street. If you're heading toward the hospital on College, turn right on Elm and it's in front of the second house on the left. That one is red with a little fake flower box on it.
3. Hours - Take a book whenever you need one. They're in easily accessible locations and are never locked. Please latch the door shut when you are done, as this protects the books from the weather. There are no set times.
4. Donations - Yes, you can donate even if the box is full. I do not know about the other locations, but I know that you can bring them here and knock on our front door or place them on our front porch. I take them to empty little free libraries in the area and top them off.
5. Damaged books - If you want to donate damaged books, I can repair them, most of them. It's not a problem.
6. Types of books - Everything. Books range from board books to picture books, YA, NA, fiction, and non-fiction for all ages. You are responsible for making sure that the reading material is appropriate for you or your progeny.
7. If you have any questions, ask! I will update periodically to let you know what some (not all) of the books are that are going into the LFLs that I know about.
