Citrus Heights Rotary at Work Day will be a Good Read!

Little Free Libraries

The purpose of this project is to promote awareness of the History & Arts Commission and the City’s Historical Buildings while at the same time encouraging literacy and a love of reading by building 20 free book exchanges throughout the community.

 

There will be 10 City locations and 10 Park locations, each being situated near a sitting area for more comfortable reading.  Each library is a replica of the Sylvan Schoolhouse an historic building depicted on the city seal.
