The joy of little free libraries | From my Perspective
I’m rarely without a book wherever I go. I read in the car and on planes. When I head to the DMV, I anticipate the wait in line and I bring my book along. In the evening, I’m often seen by neighbors on our front porch with my kindle and water bottle. I’ve always loved…
