New Little Free Libraries welcome book donations

Anyone interested in donating books to Cape Girardeau’s new Little Free Library sites may contact the following people:

• For the Cape Girardeau Police Department’s box, call Lt. Brad Smith at (573) 335-6621, ext. 1148.

Smith is accepting donations that will be stored at the station to help replenish its Little Free Library drop box as needed.

• For the recently dedicated box near St. Mary’s School in downtown, interested book donors may contact Melissa Stickel at (417) 793-1935 or stickelm@gibsonrecovery.org.

The Little Free Library movement began in 2009 when a Wisconsin man built a model of a one-room schoolhouse and mounted it on a post in his front yard. He filled it with books. Eventually, Little Free Libraries began popping up all over the country.
