| New Little Free Library in Hillwood |
Hillwood now has a Little Free Library at 19709 Linden Ave N, cared for by Ruth Stevens, a retired librarian.
It was a joint neighborhood effort - designed by neighbors Brian Anderson and Lynn Huston and constructed by Terry Stevens-Ayers (who lives next door) with their help as a birthday present this year for Ruth.
Ruth wants to let people know that they should stop by and take a book any time, or leave a book if they like, and that there are books for children, too!
The Little Free Library is a national, grassroots movement to bring neighbors together through the sharing of books.
"It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share."
Sites can be registered on the web at the Little Free Library page.
I've also seen one on NE 180th west of 15th NE, and on 14th (?) north of 160th...would be fun to know how many and where they all are in Shoreline!
ReplyDeleteA free library? What a concept!
ReplyDeleteThere's already two in Shoreline with thousands of books.
