Little Free Libraries Update

Posted by Jim Dopler on May 05, 2019

Thanks to Marilyn Dopler for visiting our three Little Free Libraries this weekend and filling them with more books. The LFL at the Community Park in Hawthorn Woods was completedly empty this time around. Our LFL at the Foglia YMCA in Lake Zurich always gets a lot of foot traffic year round. Our LFL at the Hawthorn Woods Aquatic Center should be getting a lot more foot traffic when the pool opens at the end of this month. Thanks again to all of our Club members who continue to donate books to this worthy community project. We have plans to install another LFL in North Hawthorn Woods within the next several months.
