Painted a bright "Robin's Egg blue" and with a pretty shingle roof, this Little Free Library is hard to miss in this residential neighborhood. This is my first LFL in Illinois! It is a smaller library with a single door and a transparent window. The steward has set up a few paving stones for walking and a cute bench. Inside the library, a single shelf with mostly paperbacks but also a jigsaw puzzle and a pizza cookbook. This is charter number 100716 and the steward has her name listed. The online caption reads, "I love the Free Little Libraries and have for years. When I started doing lots of puzzles it made sense to have a home for those I'd done and share with others. So we incorporated both books and puzzles into the planning. Turns out with COVID-19 people are craving puzzles and out and about a lot! Turns out a puzzle only lasts in the box about a day!"
