PHOTO GALLERY: Little Free Libraries a Happy Summer Trend in Kane County
Photo courtesy of Stan Bond. “This newly installed Little Free Library, donated by my wife and I and installed along a walking path has fostered considerable attention to summer reading and literacy,” he said. “Many parents have submitted photos like this one of children enjoying a neighborhood library they can easily reach and enjoy. Thought you might find the concept interesting.”

People all over Kane County are celebrating literacy and good, old-fashioned neighborliness this summer by installing Little Free Libraries.
The idea isn’t anything new, but it’s a growing trend, and the most-recent evidence comes in the form of an email to Kane County Connects this morning from alert reader and Montgomery Trustee Stan Bond. You can see the photo here.
