Little Free Library to Debut in Lemont

Girl Scout Cadette Kaylee Pape is excited to be the Steward for the Abbey Oaks Little Free Library Charter #31792, coming soon to the Lemont community. The way it works is simple:

• The Lemont Park District initially stocks the LFL with a variety of good quality books that they hope will interest their neighbors
• You stop by and take whatever catches your fancy
• You return and bring books to contribute when you can—LFL books are always a gift – never for sale!

Because of communities like Lemont, the Little Free Library movement has rapidly grown. Many Libraries have been installed and thousands of books shared around the country as well as around the world. Little Free Library’s mission is to:

• Promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide.
• To build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. Check out the LFL story at www.littlefreelibrary.org. Better yet, encourage others to put one up in their area! We hope to see you soon.

Join them for the grand opening on Tuesday, May 17 at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served at Abbey Oaks Park,
1349 St. Vincent's Dr. in Lemont.
