An anonymous donor has dropped off 12 of the most interesting and diverse books this morning! Non-fiction fans will be particularly pleased.
Since there’s not much space in the library due to our new batch last week, we’ll start putting them out early next week as space becomes available. Thank You kind patron!
Thanks to the help and support of our extended community, we’re proud to announce that Little Free Library #8424 in Adams Hill has now had over 400 books donated to our neighborhood project!
When we started, I expected maybe 200 books in the first year, but with a month to go, we’ve done nearly double that. Nearly 20 donors have accounted for almost half of our volume, and to them we extend a huge thank you. But still the majority of donations come from every day users who simply “leave a book and take a book.” On behalf of all the users who’ve stopped by over the last year and given me their personal thanks or written in our Guest Book, I feel I must pass it back along to ALL of our users who really do the lion’s share of the work.
Keep in mind that this number is simply number of donations and doesn’t take into account overall circulation numbers of books coming back into the library, which, technically, because of the way we work are re-donations.
Any guesses on what the number will be when we hit our one year anniversary on July 28?
We’ve still got about 50 books in the library currently so be sure to stop by and pick up something to read for the long weekend.
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!
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.
Since our official (soft) opening on July 28th, we’ve had more than 100 books in or through our library!
Though we haven’t logged in every single book in the library — some of them come and go pretty fast — the ones we have tagged and shelved now come out to over 100.
Thanks again to all of our friends and neighbors for helping to make Little Free Library #8424 such a success!
My favorite read so far was Jared Diamond’s Collapse. Which book has been your favorite from our library so far?
