Tri-Cities Literacy News for November

 

 

Little Free Libraries Celebration!

 

 
 




New Little Libraries in the Tri-Cities

I thought I'd share photos of some of the more recent Little Free Libraries that have popped up throughout the Tri-Cities. 

Here is the Little Free Library at Evergreen Park at 3500 Cedar Drive in PoCo. 



Here is the one at the Burquitlam Community Garden at 515 Ebert Ave in Coquitlam



And one outside of PoCo Heritage and Cultural Society at 2248 McAllister Ave in PoCo which also features a special post which was a joint project between PoCo Heritage, United Way Avenues of Change Coquitlam River and SD43.
