On May 28th, YNDC held a grand opening for a new "Little Free Library" located in front of the Mercy Health Demonstration Kitchen at Iron Roots Urban Farm.
All community residents are invited to use the library and to leave a book or take a book. The library was constructed and donated by Mr. Frank Kishel in honor of his late mother. Little Free Libraries have become a community movement across the United States and throughout the world, offering free books housed in small containers to members of the local community. As of February 2013, all 50 states and 40 countries worldwide have been involved in the literary program, and there are over 15,000 Little Free Libraries worldwide. Thank you to Mr. Frank Kishel, the Youngstown Rotary, and the Mahoning County Library system for making this project possible!
