Harry Potter Week Has Started!

There are wonderful hardbound copies of all 7 titles in the Harry Potter Series now available in the library.

Harry Potter Extravaganza Week

Due to the kindness of one of our regular patrons, we’re going to have the entire Harry Potter series available in hardcover on February 1st. We’ll feature these and other works of J.K. Rowling for the entire week.

If you’ve got any lightly used copies of any J.K. Rowling works (or even DVD/Blue Ray versions) you’d like to donate, please feel free to stop by and drop them off.

Mystery and Thriller Take Over for Halloween

As a result of a huge cache of mysteries and thrillers donated by our neighbor Denise recently, we’ve decided to do a Little Free Library “take over” for books in these genres.

For the week of Halloween from 10/25-11/1 we’ve replaced all the books on the upper shelves with mystery and thriller novels. There’s lots of John Grisham, Dan Brown, David Baldacci, Gillian Flynn, James Patterson, Brad Thor, Dean Koontz, J.K. Rowling, P.D. James, and many others. In all it totals to more than 38 new books in the library today! In fact, it was so many books, we’ve had to make some room on our lower shelf to fit them all in.

After the week is over, we’ll go back to a more balanced selection of fiction and nonfiction that we’ve always had, though we’ll surely keep what’s left and rotate it through the library in the near future.

Come and get them while they’re hot!

 

Celebrating the Freedom to Read: Banned Books Week

In honor of Banned Books Week (Sept. 27- Oct. 3, 2015) we’ve got a small handful of bookmarks courtesy of the Los Angeles Public Library, which is also celebrating this week.

Among previously banned books, we’ve currently got Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath and J.K. Rowlings’ Harry Potter (#4). If you’ve got any banned books you’re not currently using, we’re happy to host them here to share them with your neighbors.

What’s your favorite banned book?
