Little Free Libraries Opened In Westhampton Beach

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — It's now easier than ever to find a book to read this summer in Westhampton Beach.

To increase access to books, the Westhampton Free Library has opened two Little Free Libraries in the heart of the village.

Both adult and young adult readers can find selections in Glovers Park on Glovers Lane, while children’s literature can be found in Toddler Park, which is located behind the Post Stop Café and Chase Bank on Main Street.

The colorful Little Free Libraries kiosks allow patrons to take a book for free provided one is left in return for someone else.

Reference librarian Stephanie McEvoy brought the idea to the village for approval; she also commissioned local artist Laure Yundt-Rothenberg to decorate the kiosks, a release said.
