They're up! One is at Osborne Park and and the other is at the Elgin Splash Park if anyone wants to go check them out. This has been a crazy journey that unfortunately isn't over yet, because now it's paper work time 😃. Yayyyyyyy. I want to thank you guys so much for supporting me through this project I really couldn't have done it with out you.

[Insert Fancy Trumpet Noises Here] It's build week! Today we started by prepping some old wood that Debbie Levick and the Laura Fields Scout Service Center graciously donated!
I'm going to try and do daily updates this week as this will a big chunk of my project. (That being said I will probably not post anything tomorrow due to other activities)

Hey guys! I am finally able to get the Go Fund Me up and running, so I will post that here. I am still in need of building materials if anyone has anything lying around they'd like to donate. If you don't and would still like to donate the Go Fund Me is a great way to do it! And even if you can't donate, sharing my posts and links helps me a lot.
Later I will post an updated flier. Not much will change on it, I just need to add that the Go Fund Me is up.
As always email me if you have any questions!
I just want to note here at the end that on the Go Fund Me page it says that I started it on behalf of somebody else, to clarify that is only for the account the funds are going into. The beneficiary of my project is The Elgin Public Library and the City of Elgin.

Here's the link to the plans I'm using.

The Lazy Little Library is a great weekend project to really bring the community together! Made of materials to withstand the elements and keep books dry, it’s a great place for the neighborhood to share their favorite reads. Be sure to check out the build video on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2wUpoil

So I think instead of doing the "X" shape on the side of the boxes, I'm going to do some type drawing. This was the idea I had. I might come up with a couple of other ones for the other boxes. Let me know what you think!
