In addition to our neighborhood LFL, you can find it at the local branches of the Altadena Library (they just re-opened for curbside pick up today) and at select Little Free Libraries around Altadena.
If you love zines, they’ve got a collection of others to check out. They’ve also been hosting a regular zine workshop on the third Saturday of the month. You should be able to pick up a zine kit for the next meeting, which I’m hoping to attend. Maybe I’ll put together a zine featuring some of our local neighborhood Little Free Libraries?
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.
The books (and audio book) in the front section of the top shelf.
The back shelf of the top section of the library.
The bottom section of the library with some kids books, magazines, and fiction.
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.
Some of the books in our library have been there for well over a month and haven’t been moving. So to keep things new and fresh through the holiday season, we’ve replaced almost everything in the box with more than 50 new donations we’ve gotten in the last few weeks!
We’ve also recently added some interior lights in the top portion of the library so you can more easily browse when the sun has set earlier in the evening. The lights are usually on until about 11:30 PM or so for those late evening strolls.
So when the nights are cold and you need something to snuggle up with by the fireplace, feel free to stop by, leave a book, and take a book!
We’ve noticed an increase in the number of children visiting recently and are expanding our selection for their benefit. Do you have something you can donate toward the cause?
With the Central Branch of the Glendale Library closed for renovations, we thought we’d spiff things up a little bit too. (Fortunately, we only needed to close for a minute to do our upgrade.) Thanks, in great part to local donors, today we’ve replaced ALL of the books in the library with over 42 great new titles!
This batch includes:
11 brand new, never before read books
2 books written by a famous local author
Fiction
Thrillers & mystery
AÂ great spread of non-fiction (from medicine and sleep to history and archaeology)
Our 4th copy of Wild by Cheryl Strayed (the most popular donation in the last year, but they always disappear as quickly too…)
Our 3rd copy of the popular Like Water for Elephants
Be sure to stop by today and resupply your night table.
Donations?
Do you have some books you’re done reading and want to share with your neighbors? We gladly accept your donated books – it’s part of what keeps the library a vital part of the community. Simply place your book donation directly into the library. Not enough space or need more information on donating? Maybe your question is answered here. Otherwise ask below in the comments, and we’ll do our best to help.
Social Media
We try to make it easy to read our posts and get the latest information about the library and what’s going on recently. You can always find the blog or follow us on most of the major social media platforms to get the latest updates. Don’t forget to take a #selfie with the library when you stop by and tag it #LFL8424 on your favorite platform.
Things were getting stagnant in the late Spring, so with the official start of Summer we’ve broken out about 30 new books for your reading pleasure. Thanks again to all our regular patrons, and particularly our donors for allowing us to regularly offer new material!
Stop by and see what’s new at the Adams Hill Little Free Library!
