The sun is out on this cold January morning. It is cheering, but not warming up very fast! The side roads around town are still icy, although the main roads are pretty good, so I was able to get back to my exercise class this morning and then stop at my favorite lookout point on my way home to take a winter photo of the snowfields and the coastal range. And now I am home again having a cup of coffee and listening to Vivaldi. Sunshine, good coffee, and beautiful music. Doesn’t that sound lovely?
On our walk around town this morning, we found another Little Free Library! This town is full of them now! But we also found a very special, slightly different, sharing box. This one is my favorite so far!
Sharing poems…
Okay…I’ve been posting about all the “Little Free Libraries” that have just recently started popping up in our town, excited that I live in a town full of readers. This morning on our walk we ran into another new one in the neighborhood! As always, I photographed it and checked out the books inside, and much to my surprise, I found a book that I had just donated to our local library last Friday! I know it was mine because I pulled it our and looked inside and found this bookmark that I’d forgotten to remove before I donated it. I’m wondering if this “Little Free Library” was built by one of our librarians or library volunteers? And I’m very pleased that my donations are finding new life in the town’s libraries both big and small!
Hot summer days… no air conditioning at our house during this hotter-than-normal-July in our town… my favorite place to spend some cool hours! I wish our sweet local library was open on Sundays!
On our walk this morning across the campus of Pacific University, we found a new “Little Free Library” in the middle of campus. What a nice way for the University to encourage reading and sharing books … for the college students and for us townsfolk, too!
