Serving Others

What are Little Free Libraries?
Little Free Libraries are hand-crafted structures filled with constantly changing collections of books donated and shared by people of all ages and backgrounds. Most Little Free Libraries are placed in front yards, parks, gardens and easily accessible locations. The Libraries are built to withstand weather of all kinds and hold 20-100 books. Some Libraries are located in coffee shops, in or near restaurants and community centers.  St Luke is privileged to have two of these "Take a Book, Leave a Book” libraries placed on our grounds.  Spread the word among your neighbors and friends, and spread the joy of reading.  There are books for all ages and intrests...just drive or walk by and pick up (or drop off) a book to enjoy... No charge and no late fees involved!
