Among the amenities of our neighborhood are the eight Little Free Libraries, which have proved very popular. A map showing their locations, plus a seed library, a jigsaw puzzle library in a cooler in Whitney Court, a poetry garden, and a free food pantry is here.
Unfortunately, the Peifer-Brownfield family’s mid-century-modern Little Free Library for children in the 100 block of Hamilton had to be dismantled after it was vandalized in Fall 2022. It was built at their son’s request for his fourth birthday. See a photo of it at the end.
The newest one (April 2021), on Anna near Whitney, was designed and custom built by a friend of the Van Zandt family.
This one, in the 2400 block of Alvin, was built by the Whitson family in summer 2015.
Alice’s first story hour for children in 2015 attracted grandparents, too.
Even her full-size rocking llama listened attentively.
