Yankton Little Free Library

Have you always wanted your own Little Free Library but unsure where to start? Well - have I got a deal for you. This library can be yours for FREE! All I ask is you put it into use. To help out I’ll give you all the books you’d ever wish for and a few more! This library was just recently replaced with a larger one at The Little Free Library Near Mulberry. It is weatherproofed and ready to go. Please message me if interested.

The Little Free Library Near Mulberry #14934 has had some updates. The Big Red Book Barn now has a Big Red Book House to match it. These two libraries hold a HUGE selection of kid’s books, board books, learn to read and chapter books. The yellow house is sporting a fresh coat of paint, some weatherstripping and is now posted with the others holding a great selection of adult books. The other houses and barn will be getting some fresh paint, a few new doors and weatherstripping. Mother Nature is tough here in South Dakota. Many thanks to Cathy B for donating the Big Red Book House and Beth P and Theresa B for the fantastic book donations. All libraries are fully stocked with new books. Stop by and check out the upgrades. Happy Reading!
