Did you know that the library hosts three Little Free Libraries (LFL) around the city?\u00a0 Well, we do!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the generous donations of our community and the hard work of our FRIENDS organization, materials are made available to distribute through these weather-proof boxes.<\/p>\n

I take care of the Duck Creek LFL.\u00a0 I normally stock it weekly, usually on Monday nights.\u00a0 I collect a mix of children\u2019s, teen, and adult items from the library and drive to Duck Creek to fill up the box.<\/p>\n

Typically, about one to one-and-a-half feet of books need to be restocked.\u00a0 But on one recent visit, I found that the shelves of the LFL had been decimated.\u00a0 There were less than a dozen books left!\u00a0 Fortunately, I had just enough books in my supply box to fill the library back up.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival.<\/p>\n

As a steward, I\u2019ve stocked \u201cmy\u201d LFL mostly with popular reading choices: \u00a0Grisham, Connelly, Blume, and various other kids\u2019 authors.\u00a0 But, included among these titles there are some personal favorites that stand out in my mind:<\/p>\n
