A “Little” Library Renovation
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
- A 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
- An awesome selection of pulp fiction
- A tie yesterday(?) for #8 on our list of records for Largest Single One-Time Donations
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.
Take a book, leave a book.
A Whole New Selection
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!
50 New Books!
Things had been feeling stagnant recently, and we had a nice stack of donations recently, so this evening we’ve swept out the old and brought in the new!
There are now more than 50 new books in the library! Stop by and check out the new offerings. We’ve got a little bit of everything from almost all genres.
Special thanks to our generous patrons including:
- Donovan & Family
- Pat
- Jeffrey
- Chris
- and 5 other anonymous donors
who’ve donated over 50 books in the past month and change. We’ve updated the “leader board” to reflect the donations.
No sooner had they gone in, but a few passersby have already managed to pick up some good reading for the night. Some were surprised to learn that there’s a bottom shelf “hidden” behind our Little Free Library sign on the front with even more books.
As always, happy reading!
Major Donation = Great New Selection of Books
This morning we were pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised by a visit from first time patron and neighbor Kelly Buller. She left a huge donation of a variety of 26 books spanning fiction, biography, and several other areas of non-fiction. Her donation was so large that it equals the number of books we received on our opening day. What a wealth of riches!
Thank you Kelly!
Needless to say we’re turning over all of our current stock so that there is a lot of new material to choose from. We’re also including a donation of three Mario Puzo works from J. Fernandez (a City of Glendale employee, Water Department) on January 27th — the small one and two book donations comprise the vast majority of the books that flow through the library.
Whether you’re a donor big or small, I know everyone in the neighborhood appreciates your help!
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.
Today’s Books: November 14, 2015
The library was starting to get a bit thin up top, so we’ve released some new books which were recently donated by library friend Allison Pieter.
Our GoodReads shelf of available books should now be relatively up to date.
New Fiction and Children’s Books
Many of the new book donations from our 2 month anniversary extravaganza are disappearing, but that doesn’t mean that readers aren’t leaving some interesting new books behind. Since yesterday, there have been a few interesting donations including:
- Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
- Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades of Grey Series) by E.L. James
We’ve also had some additional mysteries and thrillers donated (in addition to those from Denise recently) for our upcoming Little Free Library “take-over”. For the week of Halloween from 10/25-11/1 we’ll replace all the books on the upper shelves with mystery and thriller novels.
This past weekend, we’ve received a bunch of new children’s easy reader chapter books including:
- Genies Don’t Ride Bicycles (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #8)
- Pirates Don’t Wear Pink Sunglasses (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #9)
- Witches Don’t Do Backflips (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #10)
- Skeletons Don’t Play Tubas (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #11)
- Dracula Doesn’t Drink Lemonade (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #16)
- Elves Don’t Wear Hard Hats (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #17)
- Angels Don’t Know Karate (The Adventures Of The Bailey School Kids #23)
- Cam Jansen and the Catnapping Mystery
- Cam Jansen and the Mystery of the Stolen Corn Popper (Cam Jansen #11)
- Second Grade – Friends Again!
As always, our updated list of available books can be found on our GoodReads shelf.
A Massive Cache of Mystery & Thriller Books Courtesy of Denise Frost
Just after our two month anniversary, neighbor Denise Frost was kind enough to donate a huge pile of mystery and thrillers to our Little Free Library. Thanks Denise!!!
Because the library is full to the brim at the moment, we’re going to hold off on releasing them for a few days. Perhaps we’ll wait a week or two and do a Mystery/Thriller Take-Over where we replace all of our current books for those of just this particular genre for a week?! Maybe in honor of the week of Halloween? If you’ve got a mystery/thriller to donate, feel free to drop it off for our planned take-over.
If anyone is a major fan of one of the titles in the mystery cache and just can’t wait, then repost this page (or retweet/re-share on Facebook) and let us know in the comments which book you have to have and we’ll hold on to it for you.
Thanks again Denise! This is awesome!
