Have you seen the Little Libraries in our community?  They’re wonderful micro-mini libraries.  Need a book?  Feel free to take one, trade one, or share one.  We currently have three Little Libraries (at the McCormick Family Practice, the Strom Seating Area behind the McCormick Chamber of Commerce and in the alcove at Willington.
