What a great concept! Getting people to want to read is a task and books are expensive! I'm not a…read morehuge "book worm" but I hear that it strengths your vocabulary, (and I need that ) Much like how the little free library helps strengthen the community it serves here in Kenmore. Have old books you can donate them! Need a good read on the plane to Cali? Swing to the LFLofKenmore ! Also if your a total worm I noticed they have small events as well! I believe it's Sunday November 9th 4-530pm donuts and cider and getting your read on! Check it out, I did and I wasn't disappointed.

My friend, Dan L., was recently at Wilson Heights Park. He was getting some exercise around the…read moreneighbourhood and found a small yarmulke (kippah) on the ground. He decided to place it inside a little free library at this park. I loved how cute the little free library looked and I'm a fan of these libraries (one of my cool pastimes that I have picked up during this pandemic) that I decided to check it out last Sunday. I drove along Allen Road and it was easy exiting off the Wilson Heights ramp to get to this park. I parked on Dresden Road and walked over. This park is ideal to sit on one of the colourful Muskoka chairs and read a book. Alternatively, it's the perfect setting to eat lunch. It's surprisingly quiet and pleasant. The little free library is one of the better ones out there. You can look at all the books without opening the latched door. I had a duplicate cookbook that I wanted to add to this library. I placed it between the yarmulke that was still there and the Fifty Shades trilogy that was available. It felt weird and funny. There were a few people out and about. I took a bit of time to walk around the park. It's smack in the middle of a residential area. I'm glad that I dropped by as I was heading over to Vaughan from downtown Toronto. I look forward to coming back to check out the park again and see what books are available at the little free library. Perhaps I'll bring my lunch. (363)

It's quiet, but hardly green enough to do any good as a 'green space.'. What a shame this neighbourhood is park-wise.

I spotted this cute library in the parking lot of the Montessori school as I was on my way to…read morecoffee. It is tall and narrow with four shelves of books behind two doors. Inside the library, a lot of books and I was happy to add one or two of my own as I reduce the size of my library at home. All paperbacks. Some taller books are a little jammed in there but there's still plenty to choose from. Nothing caught my eye today. It is charter number 67413 and the online caption reads, "We are so grateful to one of our families for building and donating our beautiful peace pole little library. It is a perfect addition to our Montessori school!" [Review 1396 of 2024 - round number 400 in New York - 22419 overall]

Located near the intersection of two residential streets in downtown Buffalo, this library might be…read moreeasy to miss. It is painted white though the paint is peeling and it has a gray shingle roof. A single door secured by an eye hook. Inside, two shelves of books that I tidied into a line. All paperbacks today and nothing that particularly caught my eye. This is charter number 130060 and it is listed on the Little Free Library database. There is no steward mentioned but the caption reads, "In the heart of the West Side of Buffalo, where people from all over the world live together, we love welcoming books of many topics and languages."

My baby adores the Baby Circle Time with Ken & Agnes; it's such a joyful experience every time. What makes it even more special is that we always get to leave with a free book for her and one for me too. The staff are incredibly welcoming and create such a warm, inviting atmosphere. Their selection is amazing, with books for all ages, including multilingual options, which I truly appreciate. This place is a gem for parents and little ones alike!

Inside, two shelves are well packed with retired library books and paperbacks. Some thrillers and good beach reading. It indicates that it is charter number 123788 but it's not in the Little Free Library database or map. A note on the front indicates that it's sponsored by the Oak Orchard Neighborhood Association. There is parking at the boat ramp and you can also view the lighthouse from here. [Review 1412 of 2024 - 416 in New York - 22435 overall]
