SUBMITTED PHOTO Bob Kendall has his eye on a “Star Wars” title. Little Free Libraries are popping up everywhere, including one in Tony and Sandy Krebs’ yard at 8318 Count Fleet Court in Perry Township and one at Urban Forest in Franklin.
The Krebses’ library is made out of a reconfigured bookcase, but the small libraries can take many forms. Whatever the shape, their purpose is to share books, support literacy and create communities of readers. The small, front-yard book exchanges number more than 40,000 around the world and can be found in all 50 states.
“Our Little Free Library doesn’t just belong to us; it belongs to the whole community,” said retired school media specialist Sandy Krebs. “It’s our hope that this library will bring a little more joy, a little more connection and a whole lot more books to our area.”
The library is open 24/7 and offers books for all ages. Here’s how it works: Take a book that catches your eye. Read it and either return it or pass it along to another reader or another Little Free Library. Leave a book at the library when you can.
