"Little Free Library" Installation in Pocket Park
Join us and our partners at United Way for the installation of Focus: HOPE's own "Little Free Library" at Pocket Park!
The Little Free Library is a free book-sharing box where anyone can either take a book or share a book for the next person to enjoy! We are looking for volunteers to assist with the installation of a Little Free Library inside of Focus: HOPE’s own Pocket Park. This opportunity would involve cleaning up the space around the installation site, digging a hole to house the post, and mixing/pouring concrete to secure the library in its new home.
