Someone went ahead and scooped up the whole bottom shelf right after the last refill. I hadn’t had a chance to bring out more books… but someone else did! Thanks, neighbor!

The library suddenly needed a refill, someone is really hunkering down for a reading session this week!
Just as a friendly reminder: it’s ok if you don’t have a book to leave every time you see one you’d like, but try to leave some for other folks to enjoy, too. :)

Today is ‌ so we're being very sustainable by taking back all the books that people have read, putting them onto shelves for people to look through, then giving them out again to other people who haven't read them yet.

It's a great system. ♻️

Here is one side of the traffic control box I painted. You can find it on the corner of Ash and Lisbon Streets!

At six years old, little Beverly was put on academic probation after first grade. Her biggest problem was reading. The assigned books were all boring educational stories about polite children. It was thanks to a school librarian's friendly encouragement that the girl finally liked to read.

After college, Beverly began working as a children’s librarian. She still found children's books boring. Dick and Jane weren't at all like lively, curious, funny, angry, unruly real kids.

So Beverly Cleary became an author herself. She wrote Ramona the Pest, Henry Huggins, Ribsy, The Mouse and the Motorcycle --more than 40 books in all. Her books won dozens of awards, sold more than 90 million copies, and are still beloved today.

Not bad for the little girl who didn't like to read.
