NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES | Of Books and Butterflies: the neighborhood's first Little Free Library
Corcoran neighborhood's first Little Free Library on 34th Street between 22nd and 23rd Avenues.
Corcoran neighborhood just got its first Little Free Library, thanks to residents Tom & Kim Medin who live on the 2200 block or 34th Street. In this beautifully tendered yard known for its flowers and Monarch butterflies you will now find a library built by Tom out of wood that Kim salvaged. “The wood came from a house I lived in many years ago,” said Kim, “ and my dad remodeled and pulled the wood off the wall. It is cedar so we thought it would last a long time.”
The library, which they hope lasts a long time as well, will be registered with Little Free Library organization, which began as a project of Wisconsin Partners for SustainAbility. Find a library in your neighborhood by access the google map. Stop by to give a book or borrow and book, and enjoy the Monarchs while you browse.
