Reader Jada sends along a photo of a neighborhood pooch at a new Little Free Library in Kings Cove.
It’s called Bennett’s Books, and it’s located at 4530 Kings Lake Drive (see map below), and it’s accessible via Woodlawn Drive.
According to the Little Free Library mapping website, there are roughly 20 in the East Cobb area, located primarily in shopping centers, at schools, and in neighborhoods and parks.
The Little Free Library Association is a non-profit founded in 2009 that fosters community reading initiatives with its ethos: “Share A Book. Take A Book.” More from its mission statement:
“We believe all people are empowered when the opportunity to discover a personally relevant book to read is not limited by time, space, or privilege.”
It has more than 175,000 registered libraries nationwide and in more than 100 countries, and claims to have to have distributed more than 400 million books.
