Little Free Library

This cool Little Free Library was built inside a mini fridge. I stood there for a second starring…read moreat a fridge mounted on a post before I realized how truly genius this idea was. As a California boy I didn't quite appreciate Texas rain until I experienced it myself. It comes in torrents and rains buckets but sometimes only lasts for a few minutes. A fridge as a library is genius because it offers a watertight seal. No moldy books in here! Take that rain. I found a book about a South African kid who, in his teenaged years inexplicably began to become paralyzed. He was lucid and coherent for years without any way to communicate. It sounds horrible but it was an amazing read and a good reminder that I need to treat everyone with kindness and respect. There may be a lot more going on in that head than I imagine.

After I made made multiple donations, the steward informed me she did not welcome them. So I contacted Little Free Library's headquarters. The LFP representative noted that they do not advocate censorship. This rep also noted that they can't tell stewards what to do. I brought this information to the steward, who didn't care. The steward insisted she would dispose of any further similar donations. I decided to not fight it. At least I have reviews. Alas, I hate censorship. Fortunately, other LFPs seem better.

It sits close to one of the busiest intersections in Manor and very near some train tracks. It is on south Lexington heading out of town (a.k.a. highway 973). There's really nothing in the way of amenities here except for a couple of picnic tables and a bench. Because of all the traffic, this is not a quiet space in which to gather your thoughts or appreciate any art. It is nonetheless a good spot to have lunch since there are some food trucks directly across the street. The photos included pretty much round this review out.
