Build your own little library for your neighborhood or organization<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Join the fun on March 11 as we make sawdust for a good cause! Registration deadline: March 3. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are invited to come to spend a day building your own Little Library Book Exchange. Mount it in your neighborhood or donate to a school or community that needs a book exchange. Come join up to 5 others and work under the supervision of two experienced woodworkers, one being a former shop instructor (both Rotarians). Each participant will take home a library box like the one pictured. The wood-shingled roof will be replaced with asphalt shingles. Yours would be neither painted nor mounted on a post, both of which you’ll supply later. Otherwise, all materials will be provided along with supervised access to the woodshop’s power tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
