A Guide to Mahomet's Little Free Libraries
Did you know that there are ten Little Free Libraries around town? These miniature libraries offer a spot to exchange books for free. If you have books of any genre to give away, you can leave them in the libraries, and if you’re looking to pick up something new, you can always take a book or two.
Beth Norton, who runs a Little Free Library on Spring Creek Drive, shared that she started hers for parents and children who visit her piano studio, as well as others who walk in her neighborhood. Norton loves stocking the library, especially with seasonal books for kids. Her library is set up with a bench next to it, so Norton especially enjoys seeing people stop to sit and read.
