LAST Bylaw Review Meeting
October Neighborhood Clean-Up!
Little Lending Libraries are up in Adair Park!
You may have noticed new little libraries going up in our parks.
These libraries have been decorated, installed, and filled with
books by neighbors and friends.
The libraries belong to everybody,
and we hope you will use them to
find new books, share some of
your old favorites, or borrow a
book for a rainy day. Anyone is
welcome to take a book home or
leave a book.
We want all neighbors to know
how important these libraries are
and respect them as community assets. Unfortunately the little library in Bonnie Brae was removed due to
vandalism, and will have to have major repairs. If you are able to help, please contact Friends of Adair Park
at secretary@adairpark.com. Moving forward we ask all neighbors to please treat the libraries gently.
Thanks, and Happy Reading Neighbors!
With the Fall Festival right around the corner, Adairians will be meeting on Saturday morning, October 17th, from 9-12 for a neighborhood clean-up! Meet at 8:30 to form teams at the small playground pavilion (API: Catherine & Lexington).
