Retired Prince William County Schools librarian turned winemaker gets library of his own

From an email: 

Those familiar with “Little Free Libraries” won’t be nearly as surprised by this media release as retired librarian Jim Livingston was.  Jim and his wife Bev travelled recently for a few days, and were shocked that a library had taken up residence on Hartwood Winery’s property, when they returned from their short trip. 

The wonderful neighbors who live next door built a beautiful miniature red barn and filled it with books as a Christmas present to their neighbors, the Livingstons. Connie Hilker, and her husband Steve, live in the historic home next door. Connie often says of the Livingstons, “They are family we were privileged to choose for ourselves.  Jim is a retired school librarian ... and I knew exactly what we could do for him as a big Christmas surprise.  A librarian needs to have a library, so we built him a Little Free Library of his very own!”
