Some readers will recall that we recently created the 27th Street Book Box out of junk and stocked it with a number of books. We’re very please at how the book box has been embraced in the neighbourhood. Lots of books have been both taken and added to the box since we installed it. Some books were only around for a day or so before going off to a new reader. There is now a number of children’s books in the box, and the other day we had a sudden influx of new books. Right now, the box is just about as full as it can get. Thanks to those who have been using the box and adding new books to the mix. We’d also like to thank those that left encouraging notes for us in the box – we have a little bulletin board on the inside of the door with a pad of paper and a pen.

There is a wide spectrum of excellent reading in the box right now. If you’re out for a walk down 27th Street, be sure to stop buy and grab some reading material.
