“We had to paint it. We had to attach everything together.”
Another girl, Isabella Sursi, says it was a learning experience.
“We had to make sure we knew what we were doing. And, we had to discuss the details before we actually did anything with it.”
Her mother, Stephanie Sursi, says even in this fairly wealthy community, the little free library serves a purpose.
“There are still children whose parents work two jobs or can’t take them to the library or who simply don’t think about buying them books as presents.”
The girls have collected more than 400 books so far, so they can make sure there are many different kinds of books. School librarian Sheri D’Amato says she examines what is placed in the box to make sure the books are appropriate for the children and at the correct difficulty for their reading levels.
“We want kids to have access to books all the time. The school library is not always open. We’re not here on the weekend. And, the public library is not open all the time. These little libraries are always open. You don’t need a card. You don’t need any money.
Little Free Libraries are everywhere, even in unexpected place. Kristen Brabrook put one in the bakery she manages in Reston Town, Virginia. She wanted to share her love of reading.
When she read the story about the free little libraries, she knew she wanted one.
