Meet the Sacramento 'book angel' keeping little free libraries full
Patricia Dansby has been around the world in her time serving in the Air Force. She settled in Sacramento and worked for the state of California until she retired 13 years ago. But despite that public service, she's better known by another title: Book Angel.
She has spent the past 11 years promoting literacy by distributing free books throughout Northern California at little free libraries, government offices, and nonprofits. With donations from the Friends of the Sacramento Public Library and others, Dansby not only supplies the little free libraries locally but sends books throughout the United States and even Ghana.
Dansby has only increased her drive in the past two years, making sure that books were accessible to as many people as possible throughout the pandemic.
