A whole new batch of books!

It’s been a month or so since the last full turn over of books. Some have come and some have gone, but things were starting to feel a bit stale.

But, thanks to the help of several recent donors, we’re happy to announce a major overhaul of the contents of the library! We’ve got over 60 different books in stock now for those looking for something different to read this Spring.


Click on any of the photos to see a full size version with higher resolution to “browse” the library virtually.

Remember, it’s simple: Take a book; leave a book! No library card required. Our library location and hours can be found on the main site at http://lfl8424.boffosocko.com.

For those who are curious, we transplant older books and donations to other nearby Little Free Libraries or book deserts to freshen up their book selections over time. Do you have more books than will fit into the library? Find more details here on making donations.

Nice donation waiting at the library. Glad I got it before the sprinklers did!

Looking for books in Japanese? It’s not quite a Little Free Library, but one of our Glendale neighbors opens up her personal library of over 700 books and DVDs, primarily in Japanese, once a month to share with the community. We’ve noted them on the blog here before.

This month’s date is on Saturday, February 4, 2017 from 10am to 12pm at 1900 Sherer Lane, Glendale, CA.

If you’re interested in updates, you can follow them on their Facebook Page: Okanoue Library.
