Little Free Libraries are freestanding “houses” where community members can “Take a book – Return a book.” These are not the books the library circulates to patrons. These are books that are donated or given by the community.
Students and parents, as well as any other community members, are encouraged to come by and share their books, as well as take books to read.
Right now the goal is to share books that are appropriate for kids in our area. Already Rosman Elementary Schools students are bringing books to school to put in the Little Free Library. This is just another way to promote reading in the RES community. Even though this is the first one in Transylvania County, the idea is not new.
RES Little Free Library looks like a mountain house. Kirk Dotson and his shop students at Rosman High School built it for Peggy Bayne, the media coordinator at Rosman Elementary. The Little Free Library has been officially registered at the Little Free Library website, and is listed on the Google Map.
The RES Little Free Library stands right outside the side door of the library. Students and parents will be able to walk, bike, or drive up to it any hour of the day.
