I love Little Free Libraries. I visit them all the time. So often, in fact, that I know when a book has become “stale” — it’s been on the shelf for three months, six months or more.

Now is the time to spring clean your Little Free Library. Take those books that aren’t circulating and donate them to the book sale held by the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library. You can drop them off at the Main Library any time it is open throughout the month of June.

You will be delighted by how empty shelves attract new books. And if your shelves aren’t filling fast, stop by the Friends Book Fair at the Main Library, July 12 through 14. For just a few dollars, you can put some new titles on your shelves — both inside your house and in your Little Free Library.
