| Little Free Libraries-
The Village of Wadsworth is currently participating in the
Little Free Library program, known for its book-sharing boxes. A Little Free Library is basically a "take a book, return a book" free book exchange. Anyone may take a book or contribute a book to share with the community. It's that easy!
If you do take a book, then please know that you do not need to return that exact book. But, in order to keep the Little Free Library boxes full of good choices for the whole Village community, the next time that you swing by a Little Free Library, please consider bringing a few interesting books to share.
