NEW “LITTLE FREE LIBRARY” At Lee Street Elementary
Thanks to Councilmember Pat Sebo-Hand and husband, Darryl Hand, for providing a “Little Free Library” for Lee Street Elementary students. The library is designed to hold free books for lending. It is mounted near the school entrance. Anyone may take a book to read; those who wish may also contribute a book, but that is not required. If you would like to donate books for the Library (PK-Grade 5), drop them by City Hall. Great job, Mr. and Mrs. Hand! Thank you for caring about our students with such a beautiful library. For more information about Little Free Library Sharing Network, the world’s largest book sharing movement, see littlefreelibrary.org.
