Welleby Park – Little Free Library

This is one of the few Little Free Libraries that the City of Sunrise installed in its municipality back in February 2013, as part of a service learning project by students in the Sunrise Leadership Academy.
The Little Free Library movement started in Wisconsin in 2009. By installing little bookshelves in communities, the «librarians» hope to promote literacy and the love of reading, as well as a sense of neighborhood, by building free book exchanges worldwide. The concept is «Take a Book, Leave a Book.» You are welcome to drop off your gently used books, and to help yourself to anything that catches your fancy. It’s a library with no late fee!
This one is right outside the office of the park, in the form of a repurposed newspaper stand colorfully painted (by students, I believe). Honestly, who visits the office when they go to the park, except maybe to reserve a pavilion or something? Nonetheless, it has a nice view, overlooking the playground and the pond. So if you ever come to this park, stop by to drop off or pick up a book or two.
