Little Free Libraries Around Town Seek Book Donations
Have extra books lying around? Cleaning out your library or office? Moving and need to get rid of extra books? The many Little Free Libraries around town are all in need of book donations. This is an excellent way to get rid of books you're no longer using and clear up space for yourself, and also to provide reading resources for those in need. Among the numerous Little Free Libraries that could use books are the NM Humanities Council library (4115 Silver SE) and the 8th Street library (8th between Marble and Mountain NW). Most neighborhoods have a Little Free Library near a park or other community resource, so keep an eye out when you're out and about in your neighborhood. An online resource for Little Free Libraries can be found at: https://abqlibrary.org/c.php?g=696904&p=4943693
