A Quick Book Fix

I was on a bike ride through Sunset Village today and as I rounded a corner, there it was; a small "house" perched on top of a sturdy post.  On closer inspection, I realized the "house" was filled with books.  The Little Library has come to Sunset Village!

You may have seen the article in the Sunday July 31st edition of the Wisconsin State Journal about Little Library's sprouting up throughout Madison.  Filled with books and magazines of all types, "Take a Book, Leave a Book" is the slogan of the Little Library.

According the the WSJ article, the program was started by Rick Brooks of Madison and Todd Bol of Hudson.  The date, there are 20 spots in Madison that house a Little Library.

In Sunset Village, our Little Library is located at the corner of Owen Drive and Hillcrest Drive.  And while our neighborhood is within easy walking distance to Sequoya Library, this Little Library offers residents a quick book fix.

In a technology-filled world, the concept of the Little Library offers a wonderful reason to slow down, visit with neighbors, take a walk and enjoy the day.  What a great addition to the neighborhood!
