I caught the books in the Walker Lending Library talking strategy on how to get you to take them with you on your summer vacation!! 😊

Just a reminder…..books make a great distraction for kids (and adults) during long car rides, are fantastic for relaxing pool or beach side, and are the best for having an adventure without leaving home!!

As you make your plans, be sure to include a stop in the Walker city park to grab a book or two to enjoy!!! (You won’t even need space to pack them, just carry them right with you!!!)

Sharing this wonderful milestone by our friends and mentors at the Little Ladybug Library. For those that don’t know, the boxes that Bruce used to design our library were actually the toddler annexes of the Little Ladybug before it was upgraded to a bigger version!! We have been so blessed by this friendship, as they have helped us with all our little projects-including donations for our own library, our Amelia Bedelia BOLO and the ElDorado Springs PTO Jingle Jamboree book gifts!!

Congratulations on surpassing 1000 followers and thank you for all you’ve done for our communities!!!

We’re absolutely delighted to share that our little Ladybug Library has fluttered past 1,000 followers! What started as an
“Alyssa would have liked this” idea has grown into something truly magical, and it’s all because of this wonderful community. Every story shared, every visit, and every bit of support has helped turn this small corner into a place filled with imagination, warmth, and joy. Thank you for believing in the magic with us 🐞📚✨

We are a little overdue on this “Thankful Thursday” post…..but it’s never too late to share a wonderful kindness story!!

Last fall, we received a generous donation of books for the library from a friend in Walker. Among the goodies was a set of ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ books. They have been in our refill supply since, waiting for space to add them.

A few weeks ago, a mother posted in my neighborhood ‘Free Give/Take’ Facebook group, looking for books for her older children, specifically mentioning (you guessed it)…….’Diary of a Wimpy Kid’!!! She and I were able to connect and I gave her the set!!! Needless to say, she was thrilled!!!

Helping connect people and books doesn’t always mean a visit to our library box (although that’s a great way to do it!) but it almost always means a kind and generous deed!! Many (many) thanks to our donors for the continued support and for letting us be a link in gifting books to our friends, neighbors and communities!!

Our jr steward was hard at work, organizing and tidying up the library, yesterday!! 😊

We are so thankful for our community of friends and neighbors who help keep our books safe and secure while they wait for you to come choose them!! Stop by the city park in Walker and visit us, soon!! (Ben can give you some recommendations if you need help choosing your next read!!!)

Was a little overwhelmed last week and didn’t get my ‘Thankful Thursday’ post added......so you are getting a ‘Missed It Monday’!!! 😊

We received an incredibly generous donation of children’s books from some new friends in the Eldo community!! As an added bonus, a long time supporter was so very kind to go pick them up for us!!!

We have a lot of patrons who bring their grandchildren to the library and having a great selection of books for our youngest to enjoy is especially fun! We are so grateful for our communities, neighbors and friends who donate, support and make our free lending library possible!!

Thank you!!

This crazy weather week is a perfect excuse (not that we need one) to post a gratitude for the incredible support of our library community! From our design and build team, who took our generously donated book boxes and built/installed a strong, sturdy place for us (thank you Phil, Bruce, Mason, and the Nevada Elks Lodge) to our neighbors, friends and family who tidy, clean and refill the library for us!! Keeping our donations safe, clean and dry is no small effort and we are incredibly thankful for everything and everyone who has helped us to make the library a community resource for all to enjoy!! You are the best!!!

(I should also note that, while mis-use of the library is rare, we do know it unfortunately happens. If you see or need to report a problem, please feel free to message us here on Facebook or on the Little Free Library mobile app).

Here’s hoping the weather will behave and we can move on to the actual March Madness we really want to see!! 🏀

Our original guest book has gone MIA, but we aren’t giving up hope…..replacing it with a new one, in hopes that our followers will sign in and let us know they have visited!! (You can record your visit in the Free Lending Library App, too)!

We have also added some adorable book marks to the library box!! You know…..in case you don’t read an entire book in one session!! 😊

We hope you take advantage of the warmer (ish) weather and stop by for a visit!!
