Even though it’s a cold, snowy, freezing rain kind of day, I’m busy checking out paint samples for the new Little Free Library.
I also ordered some postcards to leave when I’m visiting other LFLs. Between those and stamps, pencils, books, notebooks, labels, this is going to cost a bit, but I’m very excited!
David Deaderick, 16, pauses for a photo in his front yard on Washington Avenue in Fredericksburg on the first day of school. He’s standing next to the family’s Little Free Library.
“Many, many people take pictures of it, stop, read some, then come back with a book and take one,” said David’s mom, Caroline, in an email.
Caroline’s husband, Bob, added shingles, stained the structure and mounted it in the corner of their yard, she said.
Caroline Deaderick said her late mother, Mary Jean Hatch, had given her hundreds of children’s books, which are now being recycled through the little library.
“It’s so fun and makes me so happy to dedicate it to my elementary school teacher mom,” Deaderick added.

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris is a book that came to me in the snail mail today.
After I read it, it will turn up in the Little Free Library. According to the reviews, that should be pretty fast!
