Little Free Library is theoretically at 1101 Edmonston Drive in Rockville. However, that house is on a corner lot, and the LFL is actually on Lewis Street. It has a combination of children’s books and books on fitness, and could use more of either.

OMG!! I stopped at the same LFL yesterday too! I saw it was wired. Did this light up at night?

Paik’s Picks, 4901 Crescent Street, Bethesda, MD 20816.

I love the ones like this that have benches beside them so you can sit and read the books!

The proprietor says, “Paik’s Picks are a mixture of children’s literature and highly reviewed nonfiction.” However, it didn’t contain a lot of either, so these are what it needs.

Dang. I’m sure I posted this earlier, but it went poof.

This was a random place I found on E. Adobe St. near N. Higley Rd. in Mesa, AZ. I had to make a u-turn to go back and get the picture.

They had the Hunger Games trilogy!

I don’t think it lights up, unless there was a switch I didn’t see. The light in the photo is from my bike’s headlight.

The nicest, cleanest and orderly LFL with the cutest door knobs. Adult theme books with subjects on cooking, the mind, the brain and mindfulness. I grabbed the book on Mastering Mindfulness by Kim Davies and donated “Passenger on The Pearl” by Winifred Conkling. LFL is located at 1524 Oklahoma Ave NE. #FSBOOKS[ATTACH]26468[/ATTACH]

LFL in New Albany at Ellen Jones Elementary at 11th and Culbertson in New Albany. Nicely decorated repurposed newspaper box. Full of Kid’s books for all ages. Even school supplies. Maybe, it could benefit from some adult books.

A brand new LFL on Farm House Lane in Fairfax. It didn’t have any books when Red found it earlier in the week so he deposited some books in it on his last visit. I brought 5 books today. I had asked my husband for some books and did not pay any attention to the titles when I put it in my backpack, so I chuckled when I took one of the books out of the bag. Check out the title of the book I’m holding, “The Frozen Hours” by Jeff Schaara. It is a book about the Korean War, but the title was very appropriate for today (temp of 17 but feels like 5). The only thing my father would ever say about the Korean War was that it was bitterly cold.

LFL – 1/21/2022
On 2nd St. S., near the intersection of S. Fillmore St. in Arlington, VA

Not a little free LIBRARY, per se, but a “Little Free Food Pantry” – This one is actually called the “Little Yellow Free Pantry” because it is operated by the folks who live in what they call “The Little Yellow House”. This is on 2nd St. South, at the intersection with S. Fillmore Street in Arlington. The Little Yellow House faces Fillmore, and the the Little Yellow Pantry is in their side yard facing 2nd Street.

I just have to take a moment to tell you about the folks in this house. Susan and her husband David are incredible, and are so GIVING to the neighborhood. Every year, she has a ‘Kindness’ yard sale, where she asks folks to donate any items they have. She then has a yard sale, with no prices on them (pay what you want/can) and then she uses the proceeds from this ‘kindness’ yard sale to fund acts of kindness for people.

Like there was a young lady whose family couldn’t afford a prom dress for her, so she took the girl shopping and bought her the dress she wanted, plus the accessories.

She also set up a table at Christmas time and had kids stop by and write letters to Santa, which Santa (Susan) then answered, and then she bought one of the gifts the kids wanted and put it under the tree on her porch, and had a day for the kids to come by and get their gift. And now she is doing the warm winter wear, and hangs out a coat, hat, mittens, on a hanger on her front fence, for anybody who needs it to come and take it.

And then she put up this free little pantry, and people can even leave notes for her to tell her what they might need. And if they need perishables, just come and knock on her door. And it has the cutest little doorknobs. When I was there today, somebody else had come by their house to drop of a bag of food donations. This woman is INCREDIBLE!

OK, I kind of went on and on, but I couldn’t help myself. Her name is Susan Thompson Gaines – The Washington Post even did an article on her, and she was featured on CBS Sunday Morning – how cool is that! And she’s my neighbor!

Anyway, if you want to check out her kindness blog (where she writes all about this) it can be found at https://kindnessactivist.blogspot.com/ – check it out!

Little Free Library in 1900 block of Lawrence St NE. Could use something for the neighborhood kids. Good adult diversity.
