Fairmont Little Free Library

08/14/2020

We would like to expand the LFL and have a kids version a bit closer to the ground (on the existing posts). We had a deck built in the spring and the contractor had agreed to build it with our leftovers. I even told them that I would add a plaque to show it was donated by their business (advertising). At the end of the project I was notified that they didn't have enough materials to build it. I was disappointed, but he was in no way obligated to follow through (just as I am not obligated to use him again). Does anyone know someone who is good at wood working that would be willing to help? I will buy all the materials, we just aren't good at building. The last one took us forever, and I already need to replace the door.

This makes me so happy!! If you don't want to read the whole article, take this away:

Did you go to the library more than the movie theater in 2019? If so, you’re not alone: A new Gallup poll shows that the average number of library visits in the US was almost double the average number of movie theater trips last year — and this was especially true for women and younger adults.

On average, American adults went to the library nearly twice as often as they went to the movies.

The books are waiting. We've had very little traffic lately.

The science supports it.

The books are refreshed and waiting. It is almost the end of the year. It would be a shame to let 2019 pass without having read a single book!

Just sayin'!!

Study has shown that book readers who read about fiction, drama and romance are nicer, empathetic and kinder.

Keep an eye out. The library is stocked, but bulk pick up can be a risky time for LFLs.

I know where you can get a new book every day with zero expense, late fees, or obligations!!!

There are many ways young children encounter stories. A new study finds a "Goldilocks effect," where a cartoon may be "too hot" and audiobooks "too cold" for learning readers.
