This Little Free Library is located in the center of the shaded area at Southside Park. The blue box has yellow and pink trim making it hard to miss. It is on a single post. The library has a single door secured with a twist lock. Inside, a single shelf of books that were neatly stacked. Mostly children's books and it was the tiny red one that caught my eye. What's not to love about the tiniest book. It is perfect for little ones starting to read, titled "Curious George and the Firefighters." Neat stuff and fun to see in one of these free library boxes. This is charter number 87376. The online caption reads, "1775 Southwest Blvd. behind Natl. Guard Armory, between play area and outdoor stage. Collaboration of City of Newton, Catawba County Library System, Catawba County Partnership for Children, and Scotty's Book Barn. A fabulous community working together to improve literacy in our area." [Review 15902 overall - 3118 in North Carolina - 1407 of 2021.] read more
