Morning walk had me stumbling upon a little library that look like it could use some books 📚 and some love 💕!

I’m so excited to go back this week and bring some things!!!

That, to us, is what a community library should be, a space where curiosity is welcomed, access is expanded, and a child's imagination is never told that something is “not for them.”

Where I found joy for reading, writing, and storytelling - absorbed and awed by Chronicles of Narnia and Island of the Blue Dolphins. Lived three houses away - loved the freedom of solo library adventures.

The old phone box in Marston Montgomery is now a little library. Looking like it's leaning towards the grit box due to the weight of books. 🤔 #PhoneBox #CommunityLibrary #Derbyshire
