Collings Lakes Little Free Library

08/01/2026

Started my day with a couple texts and a call about this. Not the way I wanted to start my day :(

This box is for the community and even though we're often quiet on social media, there are several people who regularly check the box, straighten it out, and make sure it stays full. Almost everyday that I go past I see people getting books out of the library.

Please take better care of our shared space.

If your little one watched a Little Free Library get installed on Sesame Street, come check out a real one!

Remember, you don't have to leave a book to take one. I'm always getting more donations and poking around used bookstores for if we get too empty!

In a recent episode of Sesame Street, Charlie hopes to install a "little library" for residents to exchange books!

We love Sesame Street! The show has played such a longstanding role in children's development. Sesame Street is the perfect place to have a book-sharing box because they value children of all backgrounds and abilities.

We were overflowing! Come grab a book before we get snowed in!

Stay safe and cozy!

I just did a quick reorganization before the snowstorm and pulled some of the piled up stuff to add to my backstock for the next time we're low. Please don't triple stack books, it makes it dangerous to open the doors and hard for people to see what books are in there. You can always reach out to me if you have books to donate and there's no room and I will add them to my refill when it's low pile!
