Little Free Library of Oz

📢 Readers and Stewards 📢 Don't forget to participate in the San Diego Library Summer Reading Challenge! Ends Aug 31st.

Do my peers remember the reading challenges in school or over the summer? Completing the list of books or even a number goal of them got you goodies, even pizza from local vendors! Well this reading challenge is open to all ages 👶👧👱🏽‍♀️🧑🏿‍🦳

I completed the challenge yesterday and stopped by my library to collect my rewards: two tickets to the Natural History museum, a coupon for my library's book sale or at a Friends of the Library sale, and a reusable utensil set! 👏👏👏

It's not too late to start! Stop by your library for a log sheet or log your reading activity online at https://sandiego.beanstack.org/profiles/21526379/current_programs

Happy Reading! 📙 📚 ☀

Bookbombed with some Wimpy Kid classics! 🥳 It's a good Friday! 💚💚💚

"As the storm rages without, so might emotions churn within. But curl up with a book, and find solace in adventures that weather any storm." — Ruskin Bond ☔

It may not be raining but it sure feels like it's coasting in 🍵📖

🌟 🌟 Library of Oz is back 🌟 🌟
Thank you for your patience as we worked on securing the LFL and doing a couple of renovations! Stop by and check us out. 📚

What's new 🤓
📖 Paint job! The library and it's post are sparkling! ✨
📖 Shelving! We've taken a page 😚 out of fellow Stewards' books and implemented a "tall" shelf for all of those cool, big books that were so often forced to fit into the library. Now they have a home!
📖 Interior decor 🏵️ Just a touch of wallpaper really makes it pop!
📖 Updated Geocache 🗺 Happy to reinstate our little piece of treasure back to the library.

Like all Stewards, we are happy to maintain our LFL as a labor of love to our community. I really want to spotlight my dad's efforts and diligence with the library. He is the "OZ" in Library of Oz after all and seeing the neighborhood interact with his gift really brings him and our family joy. Thanks, dad! 👷

Here's to many more years of Stewardship!

📢 We have our winner! 🧩😲
With an amazing time of 4 minutes and 36 seconds, our winner really crushed this puzzle 👏 Thank you to all who participated in our first contest; I hope you all enjoyed it. 💖 There are more like it to come, so keep an eye out on this page or our Instagram! All links can be found in the bio.

Taking advantage of the short closure to add some cute little additions 🐝 🌿 It feels like Spring here in San Diego!

TEMPORARY CLOSURE - little mishap; LFL of Oz has to come down for a short time. Need to reinforce and be sure the library is secure for visitors. 🫡 We will be back!
