Over 50 new books in stock!

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!

Harry Potter Books Find an Adoring Home

Last week, Maggie, one of our neighbors, sent me a note. She said that at her nearby community garden there was a family with a young daughter who was a major Harry Potter fan. Knowing we might be able to help, Maggie wondered if we might have one or two of the books in the series to donate for a surprise??

Earlier this year we had a very successful Harry Potter Extravaganza Week. Leading up to the event we collected several copies of each of the books. Maggie was pleased to hear we had enough left to be able to put together a surprise book package with nearly brand new hardback copies of all 7 books!

a-happy-harry-potter-readerMaggie thanked us heartily for the help and texted us a photo of the young girl (muggle or witch, I can’t tell?!) who’s happily caring for the books now. The whole experience was so heartwarming that I felt selfish not sharing it with all of our generous donors and patrons who not only help keep our neighborhood Little Free Library alive, but who also allow it to support the surrounding communities that are starving for literature as well.

Thanks again everyone!

One of the fringe benefits of having a Little Free Library in a neighborhood with New York Times bestselling authors: they sometimes stop by and donate copies of their new books!! And just in time for the long weekend too…

If it’s not still in stock you can always order a copy on Amazon or find it at fine booksellers everywhere. If a neighbor has beaten you to it, while you’re waiting for it to come back, we recommend her first book Chanel Bonfire.

Our lobby isn’t very big, but maybe next time, we’ll have her over for a reading? We’re wondering how many Little Free Libraries host author events?!

Thanks for the donation Wendy and for Instagramming the event!
