Book It

Suzanne Cuddy has temporarily turned her Little Free Library – one of the charming stand-alone cabinets where people can take or leave books for personal use that have popped up all over town in recent years – into a Little Free Pantry. Folks stopping by location at 2124 Bath Street, close to Pueblo Street and near Oak Park, are asked to “take what you need and share what you don’t.” The picture that ran with the post on the NextDoor app showed the “Pantry” stocked with canned goods and jars of food – not sure if there was any toilet paper or hand sanitizer – while the children’s library below the main was stuffed with surprises for the littles, with new gifts being planned for every week. Cuddy noted she is disinfecting the doors frequently, and the doors are plastered with reminders to disinfect items when taking them home and then washing your hands.
