Little Free Library Pointless Prize

[cvcalhoun]

3/19/2022 (last one for this year!)
This LFL on O Street between Wisconsin and 31st in Georgetown was looking a bit pitiful: a light on top that didn’t appear to work, and very few books inside. So I left two books:Agatha Christie’s autobiography and “Gospel” by Wilton Barnhardt.

LFL on Park Rd between 18th and 17th St. Could use more novels.

Another LFL on the same block on Park Rd between 18th and 17th St. Contained a single book on parenting. Desperately lacking in books!

For my final LFL, would like to highlight this cheerful library on 4313 Knowles Ave recently put up by a friend. It’s conveniently off Beach Dr and is well stocked with lots of children books on the bottom and some cookbooks and novels on top.

Guessing there used to be a railway station. Love the appropriately themed train for a LFL!

Very, very cute! Definitely worthy of being the final LFL.

Well stocked with a variety of genres but no young adult fiction so I left “How I Survived Being a Girl” by Wendelen van Deanne.

Please contact me at westenhoff at gmail to arrange your prize delivery. You get to choose the non-chain bookstore of your preference OR you can donate your prize gift card to a local literacy program.

Thank you everyone for playing! I think we underestimated how many of the LFL’s are out there — what richness in our landscape!

(And if someone else wants to run the LFL prize next year, let me know. I have an idea for something different . . . )

YAY for BOOKS and BIKES!

Here’s my last one, from outside John Burroughs elementary school in NE DC, where I donated “Star Fish,” by Lisa Fipps, “Polly Diamond and the Magic Book,” by Alice Kuipers, and a My Little Pony book.

The quotation painted on the side of the Little Free Library is by Mary McLeod Bethune: “The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.”

Bicycling opens the world to exploration in a physical way and books open the world through the mind’s eye. Thank you so much for a fun photo hunt that combined the two!!!

Many thanks for this fun game, Kelley! I truly enjoyed it and was so glad you sponsored it this year. In BAFS 2021 I kept seeing LFLs and thinking that they would make a great game so was really excited when you did it!
