A few years ago my brother-in-law built an outdoor library with a long, tall window he found at the dump. I had wanted a Little Library for a while, and I registered it with Little Free Library, Charter #159455. Almost every day, I notice people stopping by, perusing the books or adding some. Sometimes people pull over in their cars to do the same. I put extra copies of Appalachia journal, the mountain journal of which I’m the editor-in-chief, in there. You’ll also find novels, biographies, how-to books (a few), histories, and children’s books—I periodically buy children’s books at local thrift shops to make sure I always have something for the young ones.
Since this library went up a few years ago, the inventory has almost completely turned over two or three times. Visit it at 41 Bridge Street, Deep River, Connecticut. Take a book. Leave a book.
