Find your next book to read in one of Harrisonburg's "Little Libraries" as described in today's Daily News Record....

The miniature libraries, begun in Wisconsin in 2009, have become pop¬ular side¬walk staples around the county. When a visi¬tor takes a book, they are expected to leave one in its place.

Rosalind O’Brien, creator of Sus¬tain Hburg, finds the Little Free Li¬braries concept to be inspirational. “I think it’s a great example of people sharing and connecting with each other in an unstructured way,” she said in an email.

“So much about our lives is bound by rules, and involves expectations of getting something back for what we give.” In contrast, O’Brien said, the libraries allow people to use them as they see fit.
