This exciting project furthers the Norfolk Public Library and the Friends of Norfolk Public Library goals of creating a City of Lifelong Learners! The Little Free Libraries facilitate the sharing of books among neighbors and readers wherever they live in Norfolk. Registrations for a wooden library for yard installation can be requested and are being accepted at with this project support existing Stewards of the Little Free Libraries, distribute books to stewards, and (new) create interactive programs across neighborhoods.
#Littlefree library install#
While FNPL desires to build and provide libraries free to neighborhoods, any home or business owner can also construct and install a book exchange of their own! FNPL is happy to then orient the library “steward” (or keeper) and promote the library as part of our Norfolk Little Free Library network to include placement on our interactive Little Free Library map found below.
Many Girl Scout troops, civic leagues and schools have embraced libraries on their grounds for neighborhood benefit. Special relationships have developed with Norfolk Technical Center's Carpentry Program and Tidewater Woodworkers who have built libraries for our stewards. Little Free Library (LFL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds community, inspires readers and expands book access for all through a global. The idea is simple: A book lover puts a box or shelf or crate of books. We have provided support, training and resources for dozens of additional (privately owned) libraries.Īn exciting twist on the project was a summer 2018 a donation from the Virginian Pilot of 18 “retired” newspaper dispensers! These new Little Free Libraries were refurbished by Metal Concepts, decorated by volunteer artists and placed in coffee shops, laundromats or businesses with public traffic.Ĭarpentry volunteers have built nearly 20 more wooden book exchanges using our two story plans or other plans they may find or design. FebruThree years ago, The Los Angeles Times published a feel-good story on the Little Free Library movement. Twenty wooden book exchanges were initially built and installed in spring of 2018 by FNPL’s Norfolk Little Free Library Project which includes city and community organizations and FNPL volunteers. We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on, or are visiting and acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations.Since January of 2018, Friends of Norfolk Public Library (FNPL) has initiated and supported the addition of nearly 100 Little Free Libraries in neighborhoods across Norfolk.
The Town of Banff is continuously learning about the rich and complex histories of Indigenous Peoples in this region and is working to refine how the organization can better understand and acknowledge Indigenous Peoples that have and continue to contribute to the area. The area was also used by the Mountain Cree clan of Chief Peechee, and the Dene of the far north and far south. The Bow Valley has also long been important to the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc First Nations who traditionally occupied lands and used the watersheds of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers and the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations the Tsuut’ina First Nation the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our vibrant community. In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we honour and acknowledge that the townsite of Banff is located on traditional Treaty 7 territory.
