Our Plans!

Last week, on March 11, we had our first meeting to build a Little Free Library at our school in the reading garden. The reading garden at Okte is in honor of Mrs. Dailey who was a first grade teacher at Okte. Mrs. Dailey loved reading, and so do we!

First, we came together in a group in our headquarters in the library.  We talked about our ideas of what the library would look like.  We decided it would have a flag and look like our school.  We planned for two sections; one for little kid books (first grade and younger) and the other section would be for second grade through fifth grade.  We talked about having a toy bus on it somewhere.  Mr. Dougall helped us realize how big it would need to be.  The measurements are on the picture on the left.
We will use cedar for our posts, since the bugs will leave that kind of wood alone because of the smell.  We will have several windows so everyone can see what is inside our LFL.
