This large gray box is on a single wooden post in a residential neighborhood and is completely…read moreaccessible for all. (The pond area behind it is gated and is for residents only.) The box has a single door with a clear panel secured by a twist lock. The inside was stuffed with all sorts of interesting books including children's, reference and non-fiction. I was tempted by The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires but opted to leave it for the next patron. This is charter 128994 and there is no steward listed on the website. The caption reads, "Although the pond area is only for Mistletoe Hill Residents, the book box is located outside of the fence and is open for anyone to enjoy!"

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 medium-sized library is located in front of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection and is…read moreeasy enough to find. It is gray with black trim on a black post next to their parking lot. The box is secured with a simple twist catch and has a large clear panel in front. Inside, two shelves well stuffed with books that could be tidier but it's great to see this many. Mostly paperbacks that looked like fiction with a non-fiction or two. Nothing that particularly caught my eye. I added four from the box of books I've been carting around and I'm happy to say that I've now finished scattering mine across LFLs on this trip. This is charter number 101471 and the steward appears to be the Church. [Review 16108 overall - 288 in Texas - 1613 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.]

It felt like I went from Santa Fe to Santa Ana. Speaking of Santas, it's known as the Christmas Capital, but in the off-season, the only thing Christmas-like was me thinking, "Jesus Christ, these long stretches of sidewalk feel empty" Granted, it was the midday lull, and many of the shops and restaurants seemed spread out or closed as early as 5:00 PM. It's a nice, free place for a slow-paced stroll, but a bit underwhelming if you are looking for a vibrant atmosphere.

Some of my favorite areas in the historic downtown area are talking animals (book shop), house of shine (non-profit/museum) and the farmer's market of grapevine. I look forward to my next visit.

I work from home so anyplace with a cozy seat and free wifi is a good place for me. This library is multi-level with plenty of seating. Computers, printers, resources, tons of community programs and classes. They provide shelter in extreme weather. They provide food for hungry families. I recently learned they have a retro technology lab, so I'm interested in digitizing some old home videos. Being able to do something like that for free is an amazing privilege. Libraries are so important in our communities. Education, support, shelter, resources for all, and especially for those who need it. Support your local library!
