"Have you ever heard of Little Free Libraries?" I asked one morning on a dog walk, obviously to the right person. John Krawchuk is the carpenter who made it happen. Colleen Krawchuk and I are the painters. Perry Wingenbach and Ed Duffy donated materials. And Gregg Lindros contributed the first book!
Little Free Libraries are popping up all over the world. The idea is simple. Anyone can browse or borrow or keep books, DVDs, or magazines. There’s no recordkeeping, and no obligation to return the books — ever. However, replenishing the stock by donating back is much appreciated!
We have registered the library and expect to receive a "steward package" in the mail soon. After that we will post our library
on the map.
The library is located at the end of Lookout Road. The colours are bright, so you can't miss it. Wander on by!

great idea!
Look forward to visiting the Library. A big thanks to those who took the time to get it setup.
Thanks Bev! Thanks Steve! There's some good stuff in there, including recent movies and kids' books. Well, at least there was last time I checked ;-) I think the next thing we need is a bench. Sometimes it's good to sit a spell during the browsing phase.
What a great idea and it looks great! Will try to make it over soon with some books!
Great, Colleen. And be sure to take a book or few as well!
