| Boerne's Little Free Library at Main & Theissen |
The Friends of the Boerne Public Library unveiled their latest creation on May 15: The Little Free Library! It is downtown on the corner of Main and Theissen in a beautiful setting. Patty Roetman, the owner of A Little Nature Store, was kind enough to let us place the library on her property (across from the Bear Moon Bakery). Patty has already reported that she's seen several people taking books...and it's only our first day!
Here's how it works: The Friends stock the Little Free Library (LFL), you go and choose a book to take, then you keep it or bring it back for someone else to borrow...and you can certainly bring more from home to contribute! It's that simple.
The LFL belongs is for
everyone in our community. Adults and children alike will find books they can enjoy! The LFL is a movement started by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks in Wisconsin in 2010. The program grew quickly in a short amount of time and has spread to most of the states and many other countries. Ours is LFL #6233. For more info about the LFL program, go to

An extra-special "thank you" must go to Darrel Johnston, a Friend of the Boerne Public Library, and husband of the Friends library liaison, Sandy Johnston! He designed, built and donated our beautiful Little Free Library and gave of his time and talent to make this project happen. The Friends are very grateful!

| What a pretty place to sit and read a book, visit the Little Nature Store for a new bird feeder or drink you coffee from the Bear Moon bakery across the street. |

| It's official! We're number #6233. Soon we'll be on the littlefreelibrary.org map! |
