In June, the membership of LaGuardia Corner Gardens agreed to get a Little Free Library. Who has not heard of Little Free Libraries or hasn’t seen one, they are public boxes through which people can exchange books free of charge. There are thousands of these libraries in many countries. We wanted to add one at our garden as a way to give back to the community.
It took until this weekend to finally set up our new library. Laine, our wonderful volunteer, received it, put it together and installed it at the back gate of the garden (on the outside to make it available at all times). We still have to do a bit of paperwork to add it to the map of libraries, but it is ready to receive books. I heard this morning that some books already made it on its two shelves. Yay!
Laine and Gabrielle put the last screws in. We chose sky blue for our library to match the color of the labyrinth.
Update: A couple of days later, Kermit moved into the library 😂.
