More Little Free Libraries

This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published May 27, 2014 and can be found here.

   A while back, Chris Clemens called attention to Rochester's     growing collection of Little Free Libraries

. Last week Deanna Varble and Ken Braley wrote in to RocSubway and asked me to share a few more they've been working on.

I love this grassroots effort to encourage reading. And I'm happy to share these newest additions to the greater Rochester neighborhood...

   With the help of volunteers,     Flower City Habitat for Humanity

installed this Little Free Library at the     Charles Settlement House

at     431 Jay Street

.

The library was built by FCHH's cabinet shop volunteers and painted by an art teacher at Cobbles Elementary School in Penfield, NY. The books were donated by students at Cobbles and it will be re-socked with more of the Cobble's donated book by the Small family, residents of the JOSANA neighborhood.

   Here's another new library box going up at     55 Hall Street

.

   And another one at the South Wedge Mission,     125 Caroline Street

    125 Caroline Street

   This one is at     415 Gregory Street

   And last but not least, this one at     R Community Bikes

,     226 Hudson Avenue
