The Perham area just got another Little Free Library.
Aerovilla Road residents (on Devil's Lake northwest of Perham) are invited to a ribbon-cutting for the new little structure this Saturday, Sept. 24 at 4 p.m., at its location at the end of Marion and Donna Gill's driveway, at 40122 Aerovilla Road. Attendees are asked to bring a book to share.
Donna Gill, who helped initiate this latest Little Free Library, said it's intended for everyone in the neighborhood, young and old, so books for all ages are needed.
The structure, built locally by Jerry Guck, was purchased at a silent auction by Gill's neighbor, Jill Abbott. Another neighbor helped install it.
Little Free Libraries are small free-standing cupboards that hold books. Books are left by one person, to be borrowed by another at no cost. A borrowed book gets returned to the Little Free Library, and/or a different book is left in its place for someone else to enjoy. They are found in front of homes and businesses all over the world.
