Across the street from
our house there is a beautiful little lake
with a walking path all
the way around it. About a mile and a quarter.
There are always people
walking the path or fishing or biking.
But one of our favorite feature of the lake is
the little red library.
It is sponsored by our local library.
The books are all free inside for anyone to
take.
The only guideline is if you take a book then
please leave a book.
The kids and I are always digging through our
bookshelves for books
to leave In hopes of finding a treasure to
bring home with us.
Jackpot! We can't resist a good Eric
Carle.
I love this concept of a free little library
and feel so lucky
that we have one within walking distance of
our house.
It was put in shortly after we moved
here.
And we noticed that it took a little bit of
time for people
to understand the concept. We use the walking
path around
the lake all the time so we had plenty of
opportunity to pass by.
At the beginning it would start off full
of books one day
and be completely empty the next. But as
time has gone by
people are starting to understand it. It's
constantly full of books now.
Some books stay in the little red
library longer than others while
other books are snatched up fairly quickly.
Does anyone else live net one of these?
How does it work in your neighborhood?
