I was departing the nearby Oak Valley Park North when I spotted this nearby community book box…read more It's hard to miss, painted in bright yellow with pink and blue and then white shutters on the front on a baby blue stand. Very cool, folks! Very cool. Inside, two stuffed shelves with mostly hardcovers and thrillers on the top and children's and young adult on the bottle. Lots of good stuff here and I was happy to add a couple of my own paperbacks to the collection as I'm trying to reduce my own home library just a litttle. This box is apparently not part of the Little Free Library system and doesn't need to be. It's perfectly fine by itself. Thanks! [Review 16030 overall - 217 in Texas - 1535 of 2021.]

Inside, two wide shelves that are also deep enough for many of the books to be double deep. Mostly paperbacks because those fit best. I was able to add my three from my own library that I'm working to cut back and I didn't take anything with me today. This is charter 111107 and has the title "Glenn's Little Free Library." The online caption reads, "In Memory of Glenn Myers. For the love of books." [Review 16016 overall - 204 in Texas - 1521 of 2021.]

Located in Alvarado's Carver Park, this red painted box is under the picnic pavilion and is easily…read moreaccessible. Hard to miss as it is painted a farm barn red with yellow trim and stands on a yellow post. It looks like there might once have been a plexiglass window but that's gone. The door is secured by a latch. As it's is here in the picnic area, it should be mostly okay from the elements. Three shelves inside, divided into Adult, Teen and Kids. Unfortunately, it's just a big jumble today. But free books are free books and that makes it A-OK. There is parking in the park and there are picnic tables nearby if you'd like to sit and read.

There is a small plaque on the box that reads, "Silver award project. Lily Dorris. Troop 2330. December 2020. Nicholas P. Sims Little Library." It also has the Girl Scouts logo. Inside the box, two shelves of books that now have four of my thrillers from my own library as I'm reducing my own library at home. None of the other books were interesting to me.

Peavy Road is quite busy and I…read morefeared stopping here so I continued to the next side street and was able to stop my vehicle there and pop over to the library. Painted a mint green with a wooden roof and wooden door that has a single clear panel, the library is quite full. I was able to add a couple of paperbacks to the collection as I am reducing the size of my own home library. I also grabbed a book to read today, Alex Trebek's biography that is now back into circulation. This is charter number 61091 and the online caption reads, "I have been enamored with the idea of the Little Free Library ever since I saw one for the first time while jogging in Tyler, TX. I said to myself "What IS this magic?!" Years later, I am finally the proud librarian of my very own Little Free Library. Fully stocked and ready for sharing. Let the adventure begin!" There is no steward contact information listed. [Review 752 of 2024 - 511 in Texas - 21783 overall]

This adorable Little Free Library stands in front of the Layland Museum of History. It's a brown…read morebox with white trim that makes it look like an actual library. Very cute. A single door secured by a magnetic catch, there is only one shelf inside and it's quite full. Mostly hardcovers today and nothing that caught my fancy. I did add two of the paperbacks from my home as I'm working towards reducing my library there. This is charter number 8733 (a low number!) and the steward is Christy Morton. The online caption reads, "With a grant from Andrew Carnegie, local residents worked to get a library built in Cleburne. The 1905 historic building housed the public library until 1978 when the city expanded and built a new library on West Henderson Street. The Layland Museum, which was located upstairs, was expanded to the lower floor and other collections began to be added. The Little Free Library pays tribute to the history of the Carnegie building and it's original purpose. Mollie Mims, local writer and Layland Mu [and then it's cut off.]" There is street parking.

This free book sharing library box is located inside the Alvarado Parkway Park. It does not have a…read moreLittle Free Library placard and does not appear on their website, so it must be an independent one. The yellow box stands on two supporting posts and has a proper shingle roof. The single door has a rather rusty latch to keep it closed. Inside the box, a jumbled collection of mostly hardcovers that looked to be children's and young adult books that have been liberated (released?) from a local library as they still have their shelf labels on them. Nothing that really caught my eye today though the "Extreme Mountain Biking Moves" would probably crick my neck even reading about that sort of gravity defying fun.
