Letter: Little Libraries are true community gems

Dear editor:

I was on my morning walk this past week and stopped at one of the many Little Libraries in town.

After a quick look, I grabbed “Friction” by Sandra Brown. Although a fierce reader, with over 30 books “to read” in my personal library, I devoured my new novel in a few short days.

Last May, the Village Community Association installed two new Little Libraries in The Village and the boxes have seen a lot of turnover.

Custom-designed (and meeting The Village's architectural code requirements), we added two promotional windows: one for the Village Community Association and one for the NOTL Public Library.

I want to thank Debbie Krause, the library’s community engagement co-ordinator, for supplying us with library community programs for our Little Libraries.

But back to my new book. Now that I have been introduced to a new author, what better place to find more Sandra Brown books than our local library. I checked online and there are several copies of her books.

I regularly pass Little Libraries on my walks (on Shakespeare Avenue, Front Street, Anne Street, Perez Road, and MacDonell Road) and periodically look inside (when I want to carry a book with me).

Thank you everyone for leaving books and keeping this amazing service alive.
