The Rotary Club of Long Grove, Kildeer, Hawthorn Woods has installed a new Little Free Library at the Foglia YMCA in Lake Zurich. Jim Dopler and Don Biciste braved the heat wave in the mid-80s to install the library this week. The cedar library was ordered on line. However, there was still lots of fun to be had staining it, building and staining the post and actually installing it. Don put his keen construction and hardware background to good use on this project, by designing in extra support. I think this library could withstand a tornado. The library shelf has been filled with books donated by Club members, along with a few children's book purchased from the local Goodwill store. This is a great gift to the community we serve, and should be enjoyed for years to come. Jim Dopler will be following up this project with a related request for funding for some flowers and a bench to accompany the library.
