This friendly little library is located at Long Branch Elementary school in Arlington, on N. Filmore between N. 1st and Arlington Blvd.
it is exclusively filled with books for kids…Appropriate given the location. I found one of my favorite children’s books inside, “Poppy” by Avi. (I was just telling someone about this book today!)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ParticipantLittle Free Library in the 1600 block of Jackson St. NE that I might never have passed had I not been trying to get away from the Amazon delivery driver yelling for me to hurry up and cross the street. I had the right of way to continue in the flow of traffic but was going extra cautiously in front of them because they completely sped through the stop sign and I wasn’t confident that they would actually stop.
I almost never use that block because it’s a steep up and down hill, but today got rewarded with three little Free Library holding the Golden Compass sword that I had wanted to reread.

This fairly small LFL had a half dozen children’s books and several magazines, including “Elle Decor” which looked like it might have some ideas for a bathroom remodel. I deposited “Amazing Rescues” by George Shea (a childhood favorite of my son’s) in exchange for the issue of “Elle Decor.”

Participant1/13/22 LFL in Fairlington Mews by pool and playground. Sadly a mess with books shoved in to the brim. No kids books, which is a shame in this location.

ParticipantThis one is a multistory combined Little Free Library and Neighborhood Food Share in a park on Spring Street at the corner of Fairview in Silver Spring. To be honest, what it could mostly use is food; there was none in it. The separate structure to the right in my photo, which was apparently intended to hold food, had only a baby seat in it. However, as to books, it is right by a playground, it could use more children’s books.

ParticipantI think I saw you taking this photo yesterday – I was coming back from getting my ‘boulder’ pic off the Fillmore trail and I flew by a biker at night next to the LFL in front of Long Brance Elementary, and I though to myself: Oh, I should have yelled out “FREEZING SADDLES” – but of course, I didn’t think about that until after the fact. I got a pic of this particular one a few days ago.

This LFL was chock full of a variety of books with only a little space to add more. Today I didn’t bring any children’s books which is unfortunate as this LFL didn’t have any. Fortunately, however, I had “Dealing with Difficult People” by Christina Osborne, a very slim little book, which I deposited, and took one of the bulkier novels, “Little Earthquakes” by NYT best-selling author Jennifer Weiner.January 14, 2022 at 9:13 pm #1116596karenbikes2@gmail.com

How cute! I might have to make the trek from Reston into DC to find this LFL!
