"She dedicated the new and improved dog library to Deb Mortoglou, who along with Mars, turned an unsightly patch of dirt and dead grass on the property of their apartment building into a thriving community garden filled with plants donated from the entire neighborhood. Mortoglou passed away a few months ago, but her love for dogs and gardening lives on."

Several months ago someone sawed off this Little Free Library, on the grounds of Maria Sanford Middle School in Minneapolis.

It's back, repaired and repainted, with a nice new logo on the side.

Wikipedia: Maria Louise Sanford (December 19, 1836 – April 21, 1920) was an American educator. She was a professor of history at Swarthmore College from 1871 to 1880 and a professor of rhetoric and elocution at the University of Minnesota from 1880 to 1909. …

Sanford was also a leader in the conservation and beautification program of her new state, including work with clubwoman Florence Elfelt Bramhall towards creating a forest preserve which became part of the Chippewa National Forest. U.S. Forest Service chief Gifford Pinchot later stated that "without the farsighted and patriotic support of the Minnesota Federation of Women's Clubs, it would have been impossible" to provide this wilderness conservation in Minnesota. …

Her death was headlined in Minneapolis Tribune and other newspapers. Sanford was called "the best loved woman of the North Star State."

I was delighted to find this book in my neighbourhood little free library. I left it there because maybe someone needs it, and I'd just keep it as a novelty and probably never read it, but I love knowing that this kind of book exists. #LittleFreeLibraries

The and I drove around checking out a few local #littlefreelibraries, we ended up swapping with 3.

A nice little adventure and bit of research before launching our own.

This country's radical #ChristianNationalists and #evangelicals' misplaced self-righteousness is oozing into secular society, crossing over from church to state.
Their faith lies in their private places of worship, nowhere else. Their demands have no business dictating private citizens' #LittleFreeLibraries or anything else.

A new Little Free Library opens in the Maple Leaf Neighborhood! That copper piping is a clever little gutter to help keep the water away from the doors. The builder is a local contractor. The calligrapher owns a small business preparing gift packages. Sophia Grigor Lunas is a budding poet. Text in ALT.
