Well shoot... the majority of the books from our Little Free Library were taken by someone overnight. The library is there for people to take books, but just not all at once. Emoticon  If you happen to have books that you are done with, books for any age from picture books to adult books, I would sincerely appreciate them and they would be put to very good use! Thank you!I'd really like to keep the library going for the community.... it's provided a lot of joy and smiles since it opened in April.

@lisapisabobisa and @sweetie: The library is at the Kingwood Laundromat located on Loop 494 in the UHaul shopping center just past Lowes. It is located outside so that folks can use it 24/7. Thank you so so so much for any books you bring by! You're welcome to put the books directly into the library anytime that's convenient for you.  Emoticon 4951

@QueenB: That really is a great idea and service to the tiny humans of the area. Unfortunately, it might be time to bring it inside so theft doesn't hurt the little ones. Do you have room just inside the door or something close to it?
 
I don't have books like that, but I would like to make a donation so someone could buy some at a yard sale or discount book table. Does the KW library have a discount sale area? It's been a long time since I dealt with kidlet books.
 
Would this help?
 
@BooBear, what was your bar tab at Zachary's the last couple of weeks? I'll match your bar tab amount, if you will write a matching check, then we can take them both to QueenB's place. Are you in?
 
Anyone else?
 
CHALLENGE time!!! Come on everyone...Match Boo's Bar Bill. 4951

@donnatella: OMGoodness! That's so generous of you guys! We have people who come by, get a book, and just sit outside and read. Sometimes they bring their lunch and read/eat in the fresh air. Parents sit outside and read to their kids while their laundry finishes. It's come to be a positive part of the community and it seems to bring great joy to folks. I cannot thank you all enough!@goldengirl: Thank you my friend... I will be at the next auction for sure. Was out of town for the last one but I'm needing my Texas Auctioneers fix!  Emoticon

@ QueenB - I have seen the website for the Little Free Libraries. They are all over the world. It's a shame somebody took all the books. The whole idea is to "take one, leave one" so everybody can SHARE the books. I will keep your LFL in mind next time I cull through our books. I am sure there are duplicate sci fi and mystery books in this house! 4951

@TheChad - have you written a story on this for the FB page? If so, can you share the link so I can share the link on my page and start getting the word out?
 
If not, WHY NOT?????!?! And, let me know - I'd love to donate my time and write a piece on this.
 
@QueenB - let me go through my shelves this weekend and see which ones the kids will part with. (They love the Kingwood library and they like being able to help others out. That's how I get them to clean out their toy boxes! lol) 4951

@ctl74: @TheChad did do a story for the KDC Facebook page when we opened. We had so many people stop by saying they had seen it!  Yayyyyy!!!  Thank you for going thru your shelves for books. Please do bring your kids when you drop off and let them take a book home in exchange!

@QueenB awesome! I'll have to look for it. In the meantime, I posted about this (and took your picture from above) on my FB page and will also mention it on my kids' school FB page (which is a closed group).
 
I hope you have the room for more books! 4951
