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 thing we will miss the most is good conversation, discussing how to display your Dept. 56 villages, which Byers’ Caroler would be best in your display and finding just the right ornament for your family….by the way this year’s most interesting request for an ornament was “a brain”….no, that one we didn’t have.
