    this large blue box with a lite green frame on a tree stump isn't part of the Little Free Library…read more"system" as it's labeled as "Alice St. Little Library". nevertheless, it's a great addition as there are zero libraries in the surrounding communities. it's on the corner of Alice & 17th St. in front of large apartment. there's nonfiction , fiction, and a single children's book. read: "Xia Yue Le/It's Raining!" (J FiC) all in chinese, -a beginning reader for Chinese readers with simple illustrations. -story revolves around a pond in the open spaces where wild animals (lion, elephant, cows, giraffes, birds, monkeys, ducks go to drink water. -they don't equally share, the bigger animals have primary access. -when the puddle evaporates, rain water replenishes it. -the pics are self-explanatory, knowing a few Chinese words helps a lot.

    LFLs are such a gem wherever they pop up! This one especially as Lakeside and surrounding 'hoods…read more(Uptown Oakland & Chinatown) seem to be strangely devoid of them. It could be that I wasn't looking hard enough as well... This is an unofficial Little Free Library, meaning it's not registered thus it won't show up on the official site: https://littlefreelibrary.org That said, that doesn't matter to the average Joe, as its "offering" is exactly the same: piles & piles of books! Classics, some obscure literary choices, exam books & anything that someone wants to part with. The more the better. Major kudos to the individuals who conceived this blue-colored LFL from scratch, and situated it on an underutilized tree stump. It offers a wonderful pulse of the community!
