As mentioned, the library is bright purple (school colors?) and is on a single post. There is a single door secured by a twist catch. The door has a clear panel. This is charter number 123205 and the steward is Kelsey Johnson with the school district. The online caption reads, "Lamar's Little Library is bringing books and the love of reading to our community. The families in our neighborhood can come grab a book or leave a book. Sharing the love of reading is what our Bobcats do best." When you visit the library, you'll want to avoid school drop off and pick up times as the traffic is nuts. [Review 16162 overall - 339 in Texas - 1668 of 2021.]

It's a residential street so there is plenty of space to park and browse. It is in excellent condition and the weatherproofing is doing a great job at keeping the books dry. The library had a dozen or so books inside including a dictionary/thesaurus, some children's and young adults and a few hardcovers. There is definitely room for more. This is charter number 100939. There is no steward listed. The caption reads, "Welcome to Pampa's little free library! Here you'll find books, crafts, and more for all ages! All free, and possible thanks to the continued support of the community." [Review 16174 overall - 351 in Texas - 1680 of 2021.]

Being a native Texan, I had heard of this place my entire life. This was even before social media,…read morewhen the stories traveled. Being a native Texan who moved to Colorado in '99, I had driven by this place for years, going from home to home for holidays and other occasions. Finally, I took the turnoff. I don't guess I really knew what to expect when I arrived. There were cars parked along the road, running up and down a field with a paved path leading to an open plot. And then, they were. 10 cars buried at a steep slope, dripping in puddles of color, stand stark in the West Texas flat, dry dirt. It's weird. It's hokey. It's one of the most Texas things to ever be in Texas; I love it! If you like roadside attractions, this is totally worth the turnoff. If you're driving to or from Texas to Colorado, just do it. It's a fun solo excursion. It's a fun family excursion. There's something about adding to the paint and joining the living history of paint upon paint, upon paint. Only in Texas...

I would totally recommended this place to anyone it's so cute and fun, but definitely a one and…read moredone. Don't buy spray paint at the store because so many full bottles are left behind for others to use.
