Little Free Library Pointless Prize

[mrhappy_onabike]

This LFL at 6614 Fountain Ave. in Los Angeles was relatively pathetic. It had maybe a dozen books, half of which were for expectant parents. The one notable exception being a hardback collection of three novels by Thomas Hardy.

This LFL is in desperate need of any books. There are only seven books, none of them for children. Also, there is a game and a jigsaw puzzle.

This is SO COOL that there is a little free Library in front of the Latvian embassy! I wonder if any of the books were in Latvian.

This LFL had a good selection of children and adult books, but also had a few books on infertility, in case anybody needs those. It could use – umm, a little bit of organization?

It’s amazing how many of these little libraries I’m seeing now but never noticed them before, like this one on Broadwood Drive and Grandin Ave in Rockville. I’ve biked past here so many times before!

Taken in front of St. Paul United Methodist Church on Main. St. in New Windsor, MD. We have a lot of churches and Main Streets out here in the old towns of MD.

Sorry I didn’t get a close up, but I also wanted to get my monument/memorial in the same picture. I’m lazy like that.

I did not recognize a single book in here. But they had two that took up a lot of space. No way I would ever read a book that big!!

These silly games are great for that. I notice so many things now that I would never even think about before.

It’s a really cute one with a flower pot on top and stained glass books decorating the inside. Several Stephen King novels, a few text books. Could definitely use some books for older children. I borrowed the book about that rogue panda that Eats, Shoots & Leaves to show a punctuation-phobic family member. I’ll have to restock next time.

The bag underneath has a note from someone giving away free cloth masks that they sewed! There are individually wrapped masks inside.

This LFL is located near Sunrise Valley Elementary School, where the W&OD crosses Sunrise Valley Drive in Reston. Again, oddly, there were no children’s books in this LFL! Did not bring a book to leave because I was only expecting to ride a couple of miles since my street was still so snowy. As so often seems to happen during BAFS, once I got out of the neighborhood the roads were pretty good so I kept riding. Again, didn’t think to bring any books with me, but now have a couple in my pannier for the future!

Yes, I found the TARDIS! Clearly what it needs is more sci-fi books.
