Cheri Macaulay in Calgary, chose a Little Free Library as of her www.3thingsforcalgary.ca to make Calgary even better! And, it took off in a big way! Two years ago, my perfectionist husband gifted me one for my birthday, and my daughter painted it right away! And, then I waited... :-) It was finally installed today! I am beyond excited. Our first book was taken within minutes, by these wonderful neighbour kids up the street in exchange for

A friend of mine in Calgary built a little free library and I decided to start one in our area - even though we are in a rural location. We are pretty close to Chestermere, Alberta and I am hoping I can generate enough interest in that community to keep our LFL vital. I have flyers and so on to distribute - maybe we can even get into the Rocky View County newspaper - LOL. This little library is special because my father built it for me. It's a wonderful thing to share books and reading. My mother taught me the love of a good story and this wee lighthouse on the prairie

Ever since I first heard about this concept, I've wanted to create my very own library. It took awhile, but with the generous donation of a box from our local newspaper (The Calgary Herald) and a daughter with much more artistic talent than I, it finally came to fruition. I'm so thrilled that it is already wellused and often visited and that word is spreading through the community and beyond. I hope this becomes a hub of

After the warm community success of our first Little Free Library at the Massage Therapy Supply Outlet, Joe Clare created another Francophone library just a block away, featuring only French language books.

My Little Free Library was built entirely from recycled, scavenged materials from construction jobs and home improvement projects. I built it so that folks traveling our neighborhood, and most certainly my immediate neighbors, could all have the opportunity to browse and trade books, or possibly to find that one book they've been meaning to read or just to pass along as a gift. This Little Free Library was built for my partner in life, Margi. She can be the most gregarious person and she firmly believes that true community is realized through interaction with other humans beings. This is just one of the many reasons I love my Margi. I, on the other hand, am known as somewhat of a curmudgeon … you just have to be

The Mini Free Library is in the House! The Mini Free Library at the Maryborough Community House was officially launched during Families Week on the 20th May 2014 at the Maryborough Community House. The launch had an Alice in Wonderland theme, with a storyteller, activities for children and, of course, a mad-hatters tea party for afternoon tea! The 2014 theme for Families Week is 'Stronger Families, Stronger Communities' and aims to highlight the important role families play as the central building block of our communities. This is the perfect theme for launching a great community asset such as the Mini Free Library, as books and literacy also play an important role in enhancing family and community life. Maryborough’s Mini Free Library takes an unique and creative form as it was designed by some children who attend the Community House. Their design was then brought to life with the skillful and talented assistance of Art Central and members of the community. The Mini Free Library will be installed outside the Community House, so that everybody who wants to use it can! Inside the library there will be books for little ones and books for grown-ups, as well as magazines. People are asked to return the books after they have borrowed them, so that everyone gets the chance to choose something they like. The very first books to fill the shelves will be chosen by local families in the area. Children’s Literacy Facilitator, Lisa D’Onofrio said “Evidence shows that easy physical access to appropriate reading materials has a positive impact on children’s verbal abilities.” The Mini Library is part of the Literacy Strategy which involves placing book boxes throughout the Shire. The book boxes were made by the Men’s Shed, and decorated by members of the supported playgroups, as well as other community groups, in conjunction with Art Central. They not only provide access to books for kids and grownups, but give out the message that this community believes that books and reading are important. Community groups are soon to be taking over the monitoring of the boxes, so that they become self-sustainable in the future. “The boxes and Mini Library give a clear message that the shire supports literacy, as well offering a practical way to encourage children and families to engage with books and reading.” Lisa D’Onofrio said. You will find Mini Free Libraries all over the world, however Maryborough’s is the first in Central Victoria, and one of the few in Australia that are not in front of a private house. And of course, our one is definitely unique! Lisa D’Onofrio Children’s Literacy

    VOID 18 Is Edited and Published by Greg Ben­ but You out There—You Must Know

    SCIENCE FICTION is a term involving two words, but I fear one of them is vastly underplayed in fandom. In fact, it al­ ways has been...science, I mean. Perhaps I no­ tice it more than the usual fan, because I'm connected with science and encounter it every day. But fans have always stnessed the fiction aspect of science fiction, and except for a few notable exceptions, prodom has done likewise I'd like to attrib- ute this solely to the nature of com- munication. in fandom—writing--but it’s not wholly that. Certainly the medium of expression naturally tends to make fans concern themselves more with literary subjects; somehow, though, that doesn't offer a full explan- ation. People are usually attracted to fandom through science fiction, and in -burn only stumble upon stf after a few years of active reading in other fields* It’s only natural for them to follow this in­ terest while in fandom. Still, I find it rather surprising that so few fans are scientifically inclined, In general, they don't idly pick up a pocketbook edition of Hoyle's FRONTIERS OF ASTRONOMY while rum­ maging around at the newsstand, or seek out the science shelves at the library.
