Somerset's Little Free Library is now open!!
|
Somerset's Little Free Library, Charter #3803, is now open, and available to all Somerset residents!
Thanks to the efforts of SHOA Landscape Chair Kit Boden, we are now part of an international community movement that celebrates reading and sharing books in neighborhoods and communities.
The concept of sharing books through Little Free Library is a simple exchange -
when you borrow a book from the library, leave one for others to borrow.
Little Free Library is now active in at least 34 U.S. states and 17 countries. It was started in Hudson, WI by by Todd Bol as a tribute to his mother who was a book lover and school teacher.
Somerset's Little Free Library is next to the clubhouse, near the sidewalk that leads to Turtle Lake Drive. Bring your kids, friends and family to share and enjoy!!
See photos of the opening weekend here. |
