You have probably seen them around town or in your neighborhood: little free libraries have been popping up in the last few years offering free books and other fun items to neighbors and passerbyers. Having a little library filled with books in your neighborhood can help give kids and adults access to reading material they may not normally find. You can make them out of a lot of different things – some are charmingly cute custom built enclosures, while others have repurposed things like old newspapers boxes or cabinets to make a wind and water-tight way to share books and other stuff.
If you are interested in creating your own little free library – the friends of the Yucca Valley Library are going to be holding a free info session this Saturday, May 25th from 10 to 11 AM. Along with info on how to create a little library, they will also have books for you to start your library, and there will be door prizes including vouchers for little library building materials, courtesy of Builder’s Supply in Yucca Valley.
No reservations are needed – but please RSVP so the friends of the library can order refreshments.
You can email them at [email protected] or give them a call at 760-228-3244.
