On Saturday, June 4, the Florida Public Library (FPL) and
Roe Brothers, Inc. unveiled a joint project: a Little Free
Library on the front porch of Roe’s newly renovated
hardware store and lumberyard at 65 Maple Avenue in
Florida. The occasion was the 130th anniversary of this
historic mainstay of Florida’s business community which
opened in 1886.
The Little Free Library was constructed by the members
of the library’s Tween Club, fourth and fifth graders who
worked under the supervision of several local volunteers.
Architectural drafter and newly elected library trustee
Cecelia Lillard oversaw the design process and taught the
students how to imagine, plan and draw designs for the
structure. Expert woodworker Bob Persing was in charge of
construction. Funds for the project were provided by a grant
directed to the library by State Senator John J. Bonacic. Roe
Brothers also donated materials and Tim Bieling crafted a
gleaming copper roof for the miniature library.
The Little Free Library is now open for business and
stocked with paperbacks for summer reading, children’s
books and how-to books on home repair, carpentry and
renovation. All books were donated to FPL and are free for
the taking. Roe Brothers has provided rocking chairs for the
porch and a pet watering station, as well, so store
customers, neighbors and passers-by may sit, stay and read.
Florida Public Library will be the steward for the library
and keep it stocked with reading materials while Roe
Brothers will see to maintenance. Bookmarks and flyers on
library programs are also available in compartments within
the little
library.
