Oh, the places you'll go indeed, when you expand your mind and open the spine of a book! I was a former English teacher and advocated reading all sorts of literature to my students. Fancy a love story, an adventure, a historical drama, an autobiography, a sci-fi tale, a poetic piece, a best seller, a Shakespearean tragedy (I chose a copy of MacBeth to take home!) a comical farce, a political view?? This library has it all! Well, almost! If your interests lean toward theology, you are out of luck! I love the imaginative and mostly welcoming spirit of this Little Free Library. The steward of this neighborhood library lets their personal views hinder some types of books they allow included though, which of course is their prerogative. I'm thankful actual libraries welcome a variety of books, opinions and points of view despite political, social, or religious affiliation. Of course, no one wants these LFLs to be inundated with just one genre of book, but to ban certain books is questionable to say the least. I think anyone's voice should be heard, "no matter how small", and I think Horton would agree. Come sit on the hand painted bench, it's a little nook! You may take a load off to read a good book! Feel free to take a book home or maybe leave one! Either way, you are bound to have lots of fun! (But don't leave religious books, they frown on that! Which is rather prejudice, says this cat in the hat!) To "throw" books away is sad and quite rude, Freedom of speech is my foremost attitude. The sign says "be kind" and on that we agree But the box & your minds should be open and free! To be inclusive, welcome all sorts books People vary in tastes, personalities and looks! Yet you are the steward, to boycott is your choice But I'd rather see everyone's books and hear their voice! Science, history, poetry, theology or romance I think all titles should be given a chance! The creativity on this library has earned them 5 stars, But don't discriminate on topic, or put freedom in jars Dr. Seuss was a genius, and came to other's defense I wonder how he'd feel? But that's just my two cents!

The steward of this library certainly created a welcoming and inviting space, adding a bench, plants and décor to the area. This particular "house" had some enthralling titles, poetry, kids books, and even a few magazines! I love these pop up libraries inspiring people to take a breather, take a book or leave a book, and contribute to the community while encouraging reading and literacy!

The selections in this cute library range from children's books to classics!! With schools delayed due to Covid, and libraries temporarily closed, this is a great alternative to catch up on your reading!

This is one of my favorite places in the area. Whenever my partner and I go book shopping, we come…read morehere first (and we also sell them all the books we read for store credit). The staff is so friendly, and the selection of books is LARGE. There is something for everyone here, whether you're looking for a classic, a mystery, manga, a cookbook, or even a puzzle. They also do little events throughout the year, and put a lot of love and thought into them. If you follow their social media you can see when the events are and I encourage you to attend! They always have a fun game or free gift or little treats. It is such a homey feel, and is so great if you like the classic bookstore feel. The pricing structure is also simple and straightforward; you pay half the cover price for any book you get (which means many of the older books/airport readers are a super great deal). Couldn't recommend more!

Books are 50% off the cover price, in the back there are 1$, 2$, & 3$ books marked with…read morecorresponding stars *. I picked up a couple of books from those shelves. There's a section for vintage and classic books and an adorable couch to sit on if you want to get cozy and read a bit. The window displays are always cute, there's a "beach" read theme for the summer! Inside there's a mystery display. Current popular authors are found as well as some obscure ones. Very small poetry section, which is sad as I'm a fan and writer of poetry! Nice and helpful staff!

The steward of #16533 has set up a cute spot to sit and read or do a drive by! This box would be nicer if it were neater and it could use an oomph! Spruce up the "roof" and add some mixed inventory. I like fiction, but needs some variety! Next time I come by, I'll add some poetry to this library! But I love LFL's!! Take a book, return a book! Hey! I came back by and added some books!! Enjoy! Keep America reading!

It's a busy intersection and in front of a coffee shop, the perfect spot to grab a cuppa joe and sit on the picnic tables with a good book!! Most of these little libraries have a library number, but I didn't see one on this box. The books were a bit disorganized but, of course, that's a "people issue". On the back of this library, there's a cool painting of the legendary John Prine, folk/country singer/song writer, which is notably awesome. His music has been enthralling audiences since the 1970's, and he has been compared to Bob Dylan. As a side note, I learned that John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications due to Covid-19. His humorous lyrical style will be missed... but his music lives on. His last song was released posthumously, "I Remember Everything" which is the perfect tribute to a year encapsulating 2020! No doubt this Little Free Library will get a lot of action by passerby and I will be sure to add some books to this popular spot to encourage the literary community!!
