Last year our Thursday-North area reduced waste more than any other neighborhood, so CleanScapes (our garbage company) is giving us an award! Working with a small committee of neighborhood council members, it has purchased fifty Little Free Libraries to give to us. In addition, it is initially stocking them with books for kids and adults about recycling and waste reduction. Of course you can add any other kinds books you want, and then just watch neighbors start to use it and contribute books.
Little Free Libraries help reduce the number of books being thrown away, they build community, and make reading more accessible and less expensive. And it’s really fun being a Little Free Librarian!
Read about how to get books and attract users at the Little Free Library website.
To enter the contest to win one of the libraries, email Erika Melroy (emelroy@recology.com) before December 4, 2015. Your email must include your name, mailing address, and why you’d like to receive a Little Free Library. CleanScapes staff will install it for you. It will not necessarily look like the library on this page; this is one that is in Victory Heights. You may decorate yours anyway you like.

We were thinking it would be a nice idea to offer a free little library near the driveway of George Church – or in the parking lot. Many kinds of folks in the community use the building, including a preschool, recovery groups, meals for folks in need, and a wide variety of spiritual groups.
-Could be a nice place for someone to access a book.
Sincerely,
Anna Coble
Director Little Nest Preschool
By all means, apply for one if George agrees to it!
I think that would be a great spot for one!
