Press Release: Little Free Library Opens in Pine Junction

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Little Free Library Opens in Pine Junction
Pine Grove, Colorado – July 31, 2016

Little Free Libraries are a global phenomenon. The small, front‐yard book exchanges number 36,000 around the world in 70 countries — from Iceland to Tasmania to Pakistan. Now, a new Little Free Library at 35 South Laura Avenue, Pine, CO will join the movement to share books, bring people together and create communities of readers.

Judy and Scott Messenbrink dedicated their library in memory of their son, Adam. On July 30, 2016, their granddaughters, Emma and Rylie, officially cut the ribbon and received their first books from the library. “Our son was an avid reader and he appreciated books as much as we do,” says Ms. Messenbrink. “Our Little Free Library is our way of remembering our son and sharing his love of reading with our community.”

The Little Free Library nonprofit organization has been honored by the Library of Congress, the National Book Foundation, and the American Library Association. Reader’s Digest named them one of the “50 Surprising Things We Love about America.” Each year, nearly 10 million books are shared in Little Free Libraries.
