"Yea--another Free Library box in Dublin!"…read more I happened to be driving past this pretty street and noticed the surprising book box across the street from the Presbyterian Church. The box has small Christmas lights on the edges. I'll have to come back here at night and see if it really lights up. The day that I visited the box had all kinds of books, both kids as well as adults. I left them a brand-new hardcover book. This box was created by our local girl scout troop. At first, I wasn't sure if it was a Girl Scout or Boy Scout Troop but I looked it up on the internet and it is indeed a Girl Scout Troop. Bravo bravo! The library appears to be quite old, but seems to be holding up pretty well. Thank you Girl Scout Troop 32255 for setting up this nice little box!

Wow Dublin, my hometown, finally has its first little free library book box!…read more This book box was provided by the students as a project for the graduating class of 2019. It's a well-constructed sturdy box located at the front of the school/church. It's right across the street from Shannon Center. The day that I visited it was stocked wirh hardcover, as well as soft cover books. The quality of the books is definitely superior to most other book boxes I have seen. There was a wide assortment of books all the way from juvenile to adult. Keep in mind that you can't legally park right in front of the box. However, you can park across the street. Thanks to the graduating class of 2019 for creating such a wonderful book box for the community!

"Variation on an Original Theme?"…read more Recently, the city of Dublin commissioned 12 new Little Free Library book boxes in city parks. Not to be outdone, some creative residents in San Ramon have built their own Community Book box-- but even better! This "book box" is just like other community book boxes, but instead of books, there are balls and sticks and frisbees. It's on the honor system of course. So if you snag a ball, please leave another one. It doesn't have to be a new ball, but just not overly slobbery. Ditto for exchanging sticks or frisbees. Bravo to these creative, wonderful residents in our local community.

"Little Free Library + food pantry"…read more This is one of the more ingenious little free libraries I've seen. Not only is it a library, it is a food pantry as well.

If you need some food. Thank you to the owners for adding such a wonderful asset to our community.

This is another one of the brand new Little Free Library book boxes, sponsored and commissioned by…read morethe city of Dublin. This one is located in the huge Fallon Sports Fields complex, in east Dublin. Note that this sports park has two levels. This book box is on the lower level, close to the main baseball and soccer fields. This book box must be quite popular, because almost all of the books were gone! Well, that's a good thing, if people are reading lots of books. As with the other book boxes in the series, this one is brightly decorated. This time, the artist left her signature on the side, near the bottom. Thank you, city of Dublin, for creating such a cute little attraction.

"Catch that Leprechaun!"…read more The city of Dublin recently commissioned about a dozen new Little Free Library book boxes. They are each placed in a community park within the Dublin city limits. This box is painted with bright pastel colors. The back is especially beautiful, and features brightly colored bookworms. Here's a special feature I've never seen on any other book box: There is a chalkboard on one side, apparently for new vocabulary words. What a fantastic idea! Next time I'm bringing some chalk, and will list incredibly difficult vocabulary words, just to show off. This little book box is located right in the center of Shannon park. You can't miss it. Here's a secret tip: There's another library book box right across the street, in front of St Raymond's.
