We are so excited! Our second Little Free Library is open for business. Located in Baldwin Canal Square, it’s already full of reading material for all ages. Thank you to Abe Morelli for building another beautiful LFL!

And thanks to Alec Williams (Abe’s grandson) and members of the Baldwinsville Rotary Club for helping with the installation. Please visit this and our other Little Free Library, located across from the Baldwinsville Visitor Center on the south trail of the Seneca River.
