Trotting down the pedestrian path between Vineyard and Harvest from Henderson to Bellerive Way, one finds a tiny house on a singular stilt. The house features one large front door that swings open to reveal still more miniature worlds, only these worlds are books! Unlike other little libraries, the one found on the corner of Bellerive and Maple gives its denizens the courtesy of two small windows to allow entry for the sun.

Book examples:

  • The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi
  • Perfect Little World by Kevin Wilson
  • The Tarantula in My Purse by  Jean Craighead George
