What are the chances?! Ironically, I've been meaning to knock on the door of our neighbors to personally thank them. But, here it is on Yelp, so I'll just thank them here instead. Thank you for taking the time, effort, and using your personal funds to improve our neighborhood. My heart warmed a bit when I saw it go up a few years ago. So, thank you! (Side note: Your front yard always looks impeccable, it puts the rest of us to shame. :-) ) All of that said, here is my review: In my experience, the structure itself is well built and well maintained, the book selection is eclectic and varies. That's to be expected, that's the case with all FREE neighborhood libraries, you find books covering a wide range of genres and reading levels. I've found and read a few gems and donated a few in return. I'm truly grateful to live in a neighborhood with neighbors that care enough to make this available to all of us.
