Little Free Library

I have heard about these little free libraries, appearing in cities all over North America. And now we have at least two in Fredericton.

Charming and whimsical …

A delightful expression of community! I love the stump or stone step so a child can borrow from the little library!

The idea is simple … take a book, leave a book. It’s a way to find some great new reading, visit a part of the community you may not know well and promote literacy.

As of this morning, I have left a copy of my poetry book ‘within easy reach’ at two of these tiny libraries, one in Sunshine Gardens and one on University Avenue. If you want to go on a treasure hunt and borrow a book, make sure to take a book with you to trade! Happy reading!
