It was a warm fall day as I pulled open my front door,hurrying to pick up someone from somewhere,which is my daily existence as a mother of four kids.As I rushed toward my car,there was a car parked in front of my house and a woman was pulling a book from my Little Free Library,a sort of public bookcase in my front yard. Not wanting to scare her off,I didn't move.She looked up and spotted me.“I just love your library,”sh said.It's like a stranger telling you how lovely your kid is.A big smile spread across my face.“Take as many as you want,”I replied. I’ve always loved to read.When I was a little girl,my parents wrote to all my favorite writers to tell them what a fan I was—and they sent back thank-you cards and signed books.I’ve been a member of a book club for at least 14 years,and heavy boxes of books have followed me on every move. This library was a special gift for me.Last February,my family members“surprised me”with a Little Free Library for my birthday.It is actually a book sharing shelf,where visitors can take a book and don't have to return it or leave anything in exchange. The library,standing between my mailbox and my neighbor's,officially opened on April 26,2021.On that day a lot of my neighbors came,excited and supportive.Encouraged by this,I wanted it to attract more attention. I took pictures of the library,posted them online,and mentioned it to everyone I came across,basically hoping for more and more visitors to come and have fun in reading.
