9 LITTLE FREE LIBRARY - TAKE A BOOK, RETURN A BOOK H opkinsville s Little Free Library Project has hit the World Map: littlefreelibrary.org/ The City of Hopkinsville s Superintendent of Parks & Recreation Department, Tab Brockman, and Mayor Carter Hendricks took the lead in forging a partnership between the Christian County High School JROTC, the City of Hopkinsville s Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department and the Mayor s office to create Little Free Libraries in Downtown Hopkinsville and along the Hopkinsville Greenway System. With the tag line Take a Book, Return a Book the Little Free Library is a national nonprofit organization that inspires a love of reading, builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world. Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds. The idea was generated by Steward Beth Roberts who purchased the charter signs and has volunteered to ensure the libraries are stocked and tidy. Thank you, Beth, for your vision in this project and thank you City of Hopkinsville for your demonstration of awesome partnerships!!
