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!

18 New Releases Going into the Library Today

14 middle grades books accompany a handful of contemporary novels and a thriller in today’s release.

We’ve updated our GoodReads bookshelf with all the books we’ve got in stock if you want to browse from home.

We’re also closing in the 500 book mark for total number of books donated to our Library!

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.

We try to make it easy to read our posts and get the latest information about the library and what’s going on recently.

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!

LFL Bottom Shelf

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.

 

 

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!

 

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!

Two Month Anniversary Book Extravaganza

Friday, October 9th is the two month anniversary of Little Free Library #8424!

In honor of the day, we released 39 new books into the library covering a variety of genres. This makes it easily the largest one-time release of books including our grand opening two months ago.  There were literally so many new books they almost didn’t all fit in to our tiny space.

We’ve kept a large number of the children’s books while still adding a few more.  We’ve also kept a small handful of very popular books that have been in and out of the library several times since it opened. Otherwise, almost everything in the library is new as of this afternoon. We’ll try to keep our new listings up to date over the next couple of days (a few have already found new homes this afternoon.)

We hope you get the chance to stop by this weekend to see what’s new.  Be sure to drop a note or a review into our Guest Book when you visit.
