Less-Wordy Wednesday: A Little Library

I found a little library in our 'hood. So fun!

I was out walking Rita the other day, and someone had put a "little library" on one of the side streets by our house. It had just started, so there weren't too many books then, but I did get Room, which I've been wanting to read.

The other day, we walked back over there so I could add one of my copies of Rescue Me, Maybe to the collection. I still have some copies with the original cover, so I took one of those.
Rita says, "Momma, why are you getting rid of that?"

In Other News...
The *new* Rescue Me, Maybe just officially re-launched on Tuesday the 25th, and it hit the #1 spot on the "Literary Humor" list. Yay!

AND.... if you haven't already, be sure to check out my interview with Meg Donohue and enter the giveaway for her novel DOG CRAZY!


Do you have any little libraries in your neighborhood?

  2. Nothing in our neighborhood, but for a while my old job had a spot in the break room. I used to add books to it all the time. Even better, my dog training school has an audiobook shelf where people can share. Since agility trials can be a long drive away, audiobooks make the ride to/from so much better. I had been listening on my work commute as it really eases the frustration of the traffic!

  3. I love all the little libraries springing up all over the country! Our area is so rural that I've never seen any here, but the closest village has a library and it is pretty small. lol Congrats on that #1 spot! Well deserved.

    1. Lol. Well, almost like a little library!

      Yeah, hit #1, and then got a mean 1-star review. Just to make sure I don't get a big head. :)

  4. What a cute little library. I think that idea is so cool and I believe there has been some talk in our community about getting a few set up. Congrats on the #1 spot.

  6. Very nice - I just saw my first one over the weekend before I read this. They had built a little house with a door to put the books in. Then two silver drums for children's books. Nice idea.

    WOOF!

    1. Oh, very nice. There's one a little further from our house that's really nice and looks like a little house too.

  7. Sad to hear in the news that they are "removing" some of the "made-up libraries" It's a great idea :-) and we've seen many on our walks too. Golden Woofs

    1. Oh, no. I hadn't heard that! Had to go google it. Can't believe some people are so crabby and negative about everything they have to gripe until the little libraries come down! Ugh. People!

  9. Yes we do people are always leaving books and boxes of free stuff on their front lawn and even at the park. How nice to leave your own book! Love Dolly

  15. This sounds like a great book! Your little library is really cute. It looks like Rita was having a good time at the library too. Have a happy National Dog Day!

  16. Little libraries are great! I'm sure people will be delighted to find a copy of Rescue Me, Maybe!

  17. I've heard about those little libraries from our friends who live in the city. We don't have any here. However, the vet hospital where our Angel K had her bone cancer treatments had a little library. I brought a book to trade into the circulation every three weeks when we went there for her treatment. It was a great idea for a stressful waiting room where many pet owners had to sit for hours and hours.

    1. Oh, that's a good idea to have a little library at the vet hospital. So stressful waiting around in those places.

  18. We know of a couple around our area. People really take time to build them nicely and they seem to be real weather proof too.

  19. Congrats on being #1. Better save the copies with the original cover. Might be a collector's edition one day. :)

  20. A little library would be great. Some campgrounds do the same thing. And woo hoo on the release of the book, again.
