Our friends across the border in the city of Sarnia are announcing the installation of five Little Free Libraries (LFL) across five different parks around the community. The goal of the project is to strengthen connections in the community by providing more access to reading materials.
The Little Free Libraries project was started in 2021 by Literacy Lambton as a pop-up program in public spaces. An initiative to cooperate on installing permanent LFLs at city parks soon followed.
The five parks that will see the new LFLs are Germain Park, Twin Lakes, Wiltshire, Centennial, and Marcin Park. All made possible through a partnership with Literacy Lambton and the Rotary Club of Sarnia. The volunteer members of the Rotary Club of Sarnia will ensure that each library is stocked with reading materials and well maintained.
Recreation Superintendent, Shelley Kern says, “These additions to our parks expand access to literacy right where our residents live, fostering a sense of community as neighborhoods come together to share their favorite books and the joy of reading.”
