Local Sidewalk Library Open For Community
0326 BOOKS 1
Reading enthusiast Michael Boyle stands by the wood frame sidewalk lending library he constructed outside his home on Yosemite Avenue, with local residents urged to come take book, leave a book and enjoy some time reading. Marg Jackson/The Times
A love of reading – and more books than he can comfortably fit in his home – prompted Michael Boyle of Escalon to take some action. That translated into the building of a mini sidewalk library, a small wooden box filled with roughly 16 to 18 paperback books, ranging from adventure and espionage to romance and even a children’s book. Placed curbside outside his home in the 2300 block of Yosemite, near the corner of Yosemite and Elizabeth, the new ‘lending’ library is open to anyone interested.
