Little Free Library

Many years ago, I heard Jean Feraca do an episode on Here on Earth, Radio Without Borders out of Madison, WI describing Little Free Libraries. I was enamored.   In November of 2015 an article appeared in the Pantagraph about the LFLs in the community and that got me thinking.  I wrote to Everyone@Charterwood....to see if anyone was interested in having one in the development and 5 terrific people immediately responded!  We became a study group and now are stewards.  Truly a labor of love.  I'm in the process of registering the LFL so it will appear on a world map showing the thousands throughout the world.  Our LFL will contain books for all ages.

Our study group put up the funds to purchase the LFL.  Charterwood residents are voluntarily contributing $10.00 per household.  Hopefully we will receive enough donations to reimburse the stewards. 
Karen Gottlieb volunteered her garage for painting.

Oompa and I transported the LFL in Little Red Car 
 to our garage for finishing touches.


The Charter Number is important when 
registering the LFL so it may appear
on a world map.  There are 
thousands of LFLs throughout the world.


A large bright light is on top of the pool house 
to deter vandalism.









People are beginning to add and take books.  So exciting!
The sponsorship sign cost extra.
