The post is green and the front is kinda standard with a brown door with vines/greenery on it. The real great art though can be found on side with some quite realistic landscaping/trees painting. Onto the more important aspect for a community little library is the books. Which to say it in few words that aspect was lacking for interesting books for me or my wife. A majority of the books were focused towards youth. The bottom shelf was quite full and had mostly the books I mentioned for kids, with the exception of some DVDs. Top shelf was quite bare and if anything the books were maybe more towards young adult than kids but still nothing worth grabbing! Overall this may be a great little library for some to visit but based on this experience it appears to not be one I would revisit. Still giving the three stars for the great artwork all over the library.

This was the second of many little libraries we visited in Canton NY. This one came as a surprise…read moreas it was unlisted through Little Free Libraries. It was the first of two in the area like that and I suspect both are run by the town or same person because they have the same paint job. Brown and yellow in a library that appears to be well kept. While I will start off saying none of the books inside during our visit were worth grabbing in our opinions. Though if you are a fan of romance novels this would be an absolute visit for you. On one side they had a few kids books but like I said fans of romance novels get the majority of book space taken up. Although I must say you should be a fan of older novels because they appear to be from an older series titled Love Swept. According to a search online it appears to have 900+ books from a huge variety of authors. So while the genre variety was lacking the library was fully stocked so I assume it must get decent traffic or maybe one person is getting rid of their romance stash. Not for my wife or I but like I said older (80's-90's) romance lovers will enjoy this one.

It's located not too far from Main Street of the downtown area. It looks well maintained which is a plus. It was another little library that was lacking in total number of books during our visit. Maybe we visited shortly after someone took many books without replacing any. For this visit all books besides one or two were all for younger readers. One was a book about The Incredibles and some happy birthday book, then a nursery rhyme and fairy tale book. Then what I would assume is a series called Saranormal and it had books 1 through 3 so someone may be lucky to snag all 3 in one visit. Although someone will likely be happy with grabbing any of these books but for my wife and I it was disappointing during our visit.

This very large free community book box is located in the very small town of Gabriels. Hard to…read moremiss, painted a peach/orange color that stood out against the green of late summer in upstate New York. Doors on front and back reveal shelves. A lot of shelves! Mostly paperbacks with a few retired library books in there on one side, some childrens books and more on the other. Very neatly stacked today. This library does not appear in the Little Free Library database or map. There is (possibly legal) parking in the driveway to the side. Check it out!

Huge with "adult" doors on one side and childrens on the other. Each has three very well packed and nearly stacked books. All sorts, including history, biography, thrillers, religious, retired library books and more. Surely there's something here that interests you for reading in your mountain cabin? There is parking at the brewpub. This library does not appear in the Little Free Library database or map. I don't know who the steward might be.

Like a second pair of eyes. Great guy, totally dependable, trustworthy, presentable (lol) can talk to anyone about anything, well spoken, very smart, a joy to work with, works FAST, so I suggested he not charge by the hour!! He just gets it done, period. He's been managing my Air b and b Property while I've been away, inside and out, and dealing with the clients. I don't have one single worry with him there. It's all taken care of, right down to watering the plant in the corner, or finding a dangerous slippery stone or something or other on the path. Always on time or early, and often swings by just to check on me when I'm home. Cannot recommend him more highly!
