One day while returning from the nearby Little Free Library on 5201 Avenue H, I discovered this…read moresimilar book exchange. I rejoiced! We don't have enough of this thing. This book exchange has not affiliated with the Little Free Library project, but no worries. I applaud the steward(s) for taking the initiative of setting up this book exchange. I have made donations here a couple of times, so I hope this makes the steward(s) and others happy. What a joyful, unexpected treasure!

I feel torn. On one…read morehand, I adore Little Free Libraries (LFPs), so I seek to praise them. On the other hand, I had a bad experience with this particular Little Free Library's steward. After I made made multiple donations, the steward informed me she did not welcome them. So I contacted Little Free Library's headquarters. The LFP representative noted that they do not advocate censorship. This rep also noted that they can't tell stewards what to do. I brought this information to the steward, who didn't care. The steward insisted she would dispose of any further similar donations. I decided to not fight it. At least I have reviews. Alas, I hate censorship. Fortunately, other LFPs seem better.

I really love the concept of these little community libraries! I recently discovered them when…read morerandomly driving around and saw it on the side of the road in front of someone's house. Being the curious sort I went to investigate further and found some great stuff! I am donating books to various ones I borrow from that I would have otherwise donated to elsewhere. I really like the idea of swapping out and sharing within a neighborhood through different genres! A great idea to support and this one is particularly adorable!

This cool Little Free Library was built inside a mini fridge. I stood there for a second starring…read moreat a fridge mounted on a post before I realized how truly genius this idea was. As a California boy I didn't quite appreciate Texas rain until I experienced it myself. It comes in torrents and rains buckets but sometimes only lasts for a few minutes. A fridge as a library is genius because it offers a watertight seal. No moldy books in here! Take that rain. I found a book about a South African kid who, in his teenaged years inexplicably began to become paralyzed. He was lucid and coherent for years without any way to communicate. It sounds horrible but it was an amazing read and a good reminder that I need to treat everyone with kindness and respect. There may be a lot more going on in that head than I imagine.

Hopefully in time it will be a community place where food trucks can park nearby and people can sit, eat, and ponder. It doesn't feel like it's a community area yet. Give it time.

This public park is a recent addition to the southern end of the Manor downtown area. Should you…read moredecide to visit here you'll find about six parking spaces out front. It sits close to one of the busiest intersections in Manor and very near some train tracks. It is on south Lexington heading out of town (a.k.a. highway 973). There's really nothing in the way of amenities here except for a couple of picnic tables and a bench. Because of all the traffic, this is not a quiet space in which to gather your thoughts or appreciate any art. It is nonetheless a good spot to have lunch since there are some food trucks directly across the street. The photos included pretty much round this review out.

It's a book/reading lounge. Leave your donation at the door. BYOB, yeah, alcohol is allowed. Have books you no longer want? You can swap books here. They also have outside movie viewings. There are board games, WiFi. They're open from 7pm - 5am. It's the perfect spot for night owls that aren't into the club scene. I'm super excited to go back, chill, and get better pictures.

When I realized that they did not sell buttons, I took a look around the store to familiarize myself.
