NEW: Literary fiction selections just added!

Fresh stock in the library! We're excited to add some great new fiction selections.


Recently, we've been cleaned out a few times--our entire stock or most of it. Just a note to remind folks to pick a favorite and leave some for others. Thank you!

Thank you to our generous book donors!

We've been very fortunate over the last few months to receive a fresh supply of books from neighbors, friends, and even other little free libraries!

Hopefully we've thanked you all in person (or with a personal message) but we wanted to express what your generosity has meant to us in fulfilling our mission of promoting literacy, enjoying good reads with one another, and bringing our neighborhood together. Here's a selection of some of the most recent donations:
Great graphic novels! 

Ground-breaking Science!

A whole slew of William Gibson cyberpunk! 

A collection of Canadian classics from Little Free Library 1849 in Winnipeg, Manitoba! 

Look for these and many more donated books to be added to the library throughout the next few months. And to those gracious donors you know who you are. Thank you for your generosity and fellowship!
