📚 Our Little Free Library squad dropped by the YWCA Madison Block Party, and they received a brand-new indoor library box for their kiddos! 🎉 This awesome book-sharing station was gifted through the Impact Library Program via Little Free Library. 📖 We had a blast handing out books and decorating panels to jazz up the sides of their LFL. It's pure magic seeing the kids light up over their new books! #LiteracyMatters #NewBookFeeling #FreeBooksForKids #MadisonWI #LittleFreeLibrary
