There is a new “Little Free Library” between Cottonwood and Keuterville. It’s called ‘Sweet Jo’s Lending Library’ and is located by the mailboxes at 719 Keuterville Rd. between Cottonwood and Keuterville. After 15 years together, and over 100 books read, our book club sadly lost one of its members to cancer in July 2022. Jo loved good books. She was an incredible woman, friend, wife, mother, and grandmother… she radiated grace and joy. This little free library was constructed by my husband, with a sign made by my son, for me (& others), to remember her by. Jo would have loved to see people share their love of books. I hope you find your next ‘great read’ at Sweet Jo’s Lending Library, and leave one of your favorites for the next person. Thank you, Deb Walker. Click on the photo for a larger view.
