NORTH ROYALTON GETS ITS OWN LITTLE FREE LIBRARY…

So, we have our first Little Free Library in North Royalton, Ohio—and from the looks of the map the only Little Free Library south of I-480—thanks to new Eagle Scout Evan Porter of Troop 526. Porter made the cover of the North Royalton edition of The Post this week. I’ve seen a lot of Eagle projects over the years, but I particularly like Porter’s.

To honor Porter’s work, I added three books to the library—Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers; Hiroshima by John Hersey and The Natural by Bernard Malamud—and plan on stopping by once a week or so to add more as those three selections are collected and read.

I’ve always liked the Little Free Library system and have thought of adding one of my own, but never had an appropriate space. Back in 2007 I toyed with the Book Crossing system, but little came of that endeavor.

That you Mr. Porter.
