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.]

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.

They also have classes in arts and crafts and the occasional community get together. I have donated arts and craft materials, toys, games, puzzles and other miscellany. We recently took a pickup load to the new location but have not seen the inside of the new place yet. We were told it's much larger and still in need of donations. Go to their web site and set up a time to take some items they could use. You will not be disappointed. They are doing great things and have a great group of volunteers.

When in doubt, a simple email or phone call to one of the lovely archivists will answer your question.

I mean what child wanted to behave in an overcrowded, stale-smelling room. Pretty much like being at a funeral for your very alive and well self. side story - yes right here in the beginning of my review... :) I'm working on getting my passport book. There were 2 absolute stops that I had to make. This place and then the sub-court. I have dreaded going in to any of these places due to my not so fond memories from above. I finally put on my big girl drawers and sucked up what seemed like another journey to places I didn't want to go - thanks to Aminah trying to get me to Thailand. I walked in, during typical lunch hours, to about 4 parties ahead of me. I could literally sit in a row of chairs all to myself. Numbers started being called shortly, between to representatives and soon folks were walking out the door. Finally, my number was called and I approached Miranda's desk (window 6). Miranda is no Roz, Monster's Inc. In fact, my 7 minutes spent with Miranda was enjoyable. She kept me informed and looped throughout the entire process. If she was making a copy of my DL... I was aware! :) She even directed me to my next stop for the actual passport. I walked out of that office in a whopping 30 minutes. My parking came out to $7 and I got what I needed without feeling death on my shoulders. Can i guarantee that your visit will go the same? No, but I have no doubt that you'll be taken care of :D
