Discover White Bear Lake: Little Free Libraries of White Bear Lake

Hello Friends  –

A new little addition over at my other blog,  Reading in White Bear Lake, is making it’s debut today.  I  love the Little Free  Libraries popping up all over White Bear Lake.  I hope to someday have my very own Little Free Library.   Until, I do hubby and I will be biking to various Little Libraries and leaving one of the books or audiobooks, I have reviewed on Reading in White Bear Lake for others to enjoy. 

As I continue on my path to own less, I don’t keep books after I read them.   So what better way to share the books or audio books with the community of White Bear Lake!!

On Saturday, May 7th, I placed an audio book, The Art of Arranging Flowers in the Little Free Library locate by Indulge Salon at 2183 3rd Street in Downtown White Bear Lake. 

If you read my review of The Art Arranging Flowers  by Lynne Barnard and would like to listen to this audio book, head over to the Little Free Library by Indulge Salon.

I hope to place more of the books and audio books I have reviewed at various free libraries around White Bear Lake.   Not many of the Free Libraries are actually on the Little Free Library website map.  If you know of a location of a free library around White Bear Lake, please let me know.

MY REQUEST TO YOU:   If you take this audiobook from this free library,  please leave a comment on this post so others know it has been picked up.   Once you have enjoyed the audiobook, please leave another message of the Free Little Library location you have place it in after listening to it, so the next person can locate it.    Please leave the sticker on audiobook with the URL, readinginwbl.org.   

I look forward to seeing who enjoys the books and gets to visit White Bear Lake, our beautiful community.

 

Paul and I rode our bikes by White Bear Lake, it was great to see the boats returning to the lake.

We heading back home after a stop at Ramsey County Beach.   What a beautiful day we enjoyed!!

 

Happy Reading,
