Welcome to St. Timothy's Little
Free Library
What
is a Little Free Library?
It's
a take a book, return a book gathering place where neighbors share
their favorite literature and stories.
In
its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books
where anyone may stop
by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share.
You can too!
We
invite you to bring a book you enjoyed to share with neighbors and
to borrow a book from
this Little Free Library as often as you like. You don't need a
library card and there is no cost.
Now
open so
take a book, return a book.
Happy
reading!
