When wandering the hinterland of Hoffman Road, the weary traveler is treated to the warm welcoming sight of this little library; a beacon of learning much like the one room school houses were on the frontiers of yore. Unlike one room school houses, which famously taught children of all levels in their one room, this little library has two rooms. The first room is for the very short and is filled with picture books. Those who learn there will see the ecstatic face painted upon the post to its left. This face will encourage the young reader to grow so they might attain higher education in the library's second room, a room with very few pictures.

Book examples:

  • Bread Upon the Waters by Irwin Shaw
  • Playing for Pizza by John Grisham
  • 10 Apples Up On Top by Dr. Seuss
