What fun is the neighborhood Little Free Library! While on a walk in Venice, California, we came upon two neighborhood library boxes in one block. Small little boxes resembling large mail boxes where you can drop off a favorite book or pick up something new to read. They are everywhere! And not just in Venice. They are so friendly and so inviting and such a “neighborly” idea that every neighborhood should have them. What a great way to share a good book or discover a new author. Keep reading and be neighborly!!
