Marie Winters Memorial Little Free Library

Marie Winters Memorial Little Free Library This little library is dedicated to the loving memory of my Mom, Marie Winters. She was the best of us and we lost her too soon to pancreatic cancer.

Our mission is to find and share as many banned and restricted books as possible in her name.

You can't truly enjoy reading a good book if you don't have food to eat.
We've turned our library into a temporary Little Free Pantry so if you're in the area and struggling to afford groceries, stop by and grab what you need.
(We left some kids books out there, too, so grab one for the kids in your life!)

Gut wrenching, life changing, and just one of the banned books we have in our little library.

This Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography tells the story of a family struggling through tragedy and adversity and how that shaped the Author's life. It was challenged and banned in Florida for "obscenity" but you can borrow it from us now.

"... and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."
Even though it's a fictional account, The Grapes of Wrath was banned almost since its release in 1939 for portraying the greed of corporate farming and the desperation of families who lost their livelihood during the dust bowl.
Borrow it today!

When we started planning this little library I was excited to share books that I love, but I had no idea how AH-MAY-ZINGGG it would feel to find the books people leave for others.
Thank you to anyone who does this at little libraries anywhere!!

When I was a kid my Grandma Winters had a bookshelf full of books and one of them was Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.
Grandma was a voracious reader and she inspired me to read and love Vonnegut as well.
We came across this hefty boi at a flea market and I couldn't resist snatching it up to share.

An awesome friend donated this book to the library and I appreciate it so much! Thank you Pam!
