Oh, the places you'll go indeed, when you expand your mind and open the spine of a book! I was a former English teacher and advocated reading all sorts of literature to my students. Fancy a love story, an adventure, a historical drama, an autobiography, a sci-fi tale, a poetic piece, a best seller, a Shakespearean tragedy (I chose a copy of MacBeth to take home!) a comical farce, a political view?? This library has it all! Well, almost! If your interests lean toward theology, you are out of luck! I love the imaginative and mostly welcoming spirit of this Little Free Library. The steward of this neighborhood library lets their personal views hinder some types of books they allow included though, which of course is their prerogative. I'm thankful actual libraries welcome a variety of books, opinions and points of view despite political, social, or religious affiliation. Of course, no one wants these LFLs to be inundated with just one genre of book, but to ban certain books is questionable to say the least. I think anyone's voice should be heard, "no matter how small", and I think Horton would agree. Come sit on the hand painted bench, it's a little nook! You may take a load off to read a good book! Feel free to take a book home or maybe leave one! Either way, you are bound to have lots of fun! (But don't leave religious books, they frown on that! Which is rather prejudice, says this cat in the hat!) To "throw" books away is sad and quite rude, Freedom of speech is my foremost attitude. The sign says "be kind" and on that we agree But the box & your minds should be open and free! To be inclusive, welcome all sorts books People vary in tastes, personalities and looks! Yet you are the steward, to boycott is your choice But I'd rather see everyone's books and hear their voice! Science, history, poetry, theology or romance I think all titles should be given a chance! The creativity on this library has earned them 5 stars, But don't discriminate on topic, or put freedom in jars Dr. Seuss was a genius, and came to other's defense I wonder how he'd feel? But that's just my two cents!

Not technically a LFL, but this community free library fits the bill!

I wish they would have included several children's books; cow-abunga dude, the youngsters need so rep! No kid-ding, you're bound to find a book that suits your fancy if you like beach reads! Don't be a chicken, open the barn door and take a book or leave a book! You'll find it at Crump Park, next to the playground where the kids are horsing around! Next time I come by here, I will add some children's and teen selections!

The steward of this library certainly created a welcoming and inviting space, adding a bench, plants and décor to the area. This particular "house" had some enthralling titles, poetry, kids books, and even a few magazines! I love these pop up libraries inspiring people to take a breather, take a book or leave a book, and contribute to the community while encouraging reading and literacy!

Five stars for this amazing Little Free Library that has been made from a former phone booth that…read morehas been painted to look like a rocket ship. It is the largest library I've ever seen with several shelves of books, all stacked high. Paperbacks, hardcovers, fiction, reference, biography and more. There's something here for everyone. It might not be the tidiest display but it is clean and dry inside. I would be surprised if you didn't find a book here to take. Definitely very cool. This is charter number 30071 and the steward is Cheryl. The online caption reads, "Good Life Corporation - A small company supporting people with intellectual disability to live, work and play in the community. Our mission is to provide FUN, secure, person centered services for adults with disabilities. We love to do Random Acts of Kindness for members of our community. We wanted some new, different ideas to spread happiness and good will. So, we searched the internet for ideas and we came across the Little Free Library. Built by our own Good Works crew." Awesome!

Or anyone who stops by could also be sure to leave it tidy, but nevertheless, it's out of this world! If you see this cool LFL don't blast off by, land here and check it out!

I like fiction, but needs some variety! Next time I come by, I'll add some poetry to this library! But I love LFL's!! Take a book, return a book! Hey! I came back by and added some books!! Enjoy!

(they had sent troops to Iraq). *this lead the CIA to believe it was local affiliates of al Queda doing the planning & funding, no longer from al Queda central. -during the '04 Presidential campaign, leaks from the CIA indicated the war in Iraq was beginning to turn into a civil war. shortly, top levels of the CIA were replaced. their new duty was to craft plans to support the administration's agenda, not to be a "fact-finding" agency that raises questions. -in Oct. 2004, Bin Laden broadcasted an anti-Bush message, essentially a campaign ad to vote for Bush .

It's a busy intersection and in front of a coffee shop, the perfect spot to grab a cuppa joe and sit on the picnic tables with a good book!! Most of these little libraries have a library number, but I didn't see one on this box. The books were a bit disorganized but, of course, that's a "people issue". On the back of this library, there's a cool painting of the legendary John Prine, folk/country singer/song writer, which is notably awesome. His music has been enthralling audiences since the 1970's, and he has been compared to Bob Dylan. As a side note, I learned that John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications due to Covid-19. His humorous lyrical style will be missed... but his music lives on. His last song was released posthumously, "I Remember Everything" which is the perfect tribute to a year encapsulating 2020! No doubt this Little Free Library will get a lot of action by passerby and I will be sure to add some books to this popular spot to encourage the literary community!!
