My neighbor, Bill, is an amazing man. For many, many years he was the librarian at one of the Lubbock High Schools. And, upon his retirement, he has remained active in the community: he is a member of the Friends of the Library, he was, and may still be on a community advisory board for the Citibus, he gives presentations and talks to various community groups about books, and he is a constant participant at the Barnes and Noble Mystery Book Club. He is a very active member of the Friends of the Library. He has a cadre of friends with whom he visits regularly at Barnes and Noble, and who know where else.
He recently became aware of The Little Free Library http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/. He has a friend who built a little free library for in front of his house. Last Friday, April 6, 2012, he opened the library. He already has wonderful stories about people who are borrowing books, and visiting with their neighbors, all because of the Little Free Library. What a wonderful gift to the community.
Thanks Bill!
