WHAT KIND OF BOOKS ARE IN THERE?
One of the benefits of using a Little Free Library is that you never know what books are going to be inside. It can be a wide variety of romance, drama, fiction, non-fiction, and children's books. Many of those who have started using the free libraries have found themselves reading books they may have never picked up. There typically are plenty of children's books in the box too. Some Little Free Library's were created by neighborhood groups or non-profit organizations who promote children's literacy. Take the library at Dowdy Park which is sponsored by The Outer Banks Women's Club.This library was created and is maintained by the Outer Banks Women's Club to support the club's goal of promoting literacy and love for reading in their unique beach community.
RELAX AND ENJOY A GOOD BOOK
While on vacation, spending the day by the water on sunning on the pool deck is what many families want. But when it's time to take a break from the waves or sit down before lunch time why not have an excellent book to read? You can even bring a few books down, spread them out and let the kids decide on their own. No matter what you're reading on your getaway, just sit back and relax. These libraries can often be found atbeach access points along the beach road so be on the lookout when crossing the dunes for your next favorite book.
