We have received word from Laurie May that she has opened a, “Little Free Library,” on Hartford Ave. in Sound View, Old Lyme.  

This is one of many such libraries all over the country and represents a concept embraced in a number of other countries throughout the world.

It follows a, “Take a Book”, “Leave a Book,” philosophy and is stocked with adult books, children’s books and magazines.  It has already been used numerous times since its ribbon-cutting opening last Saturday, June 21.

The library is delightfully decorated with handprints from May’s grandchildren’s and dedicated to her mother-in-law Lee Tricarico, who recently passed away and used to, “read a book a day.”
