Chang Science Library has recently opened a “Little Free Library”: a shelf opposite the library entrance for people to share books, a kind of take-a-penny leave-a-penny tray for reading.\u00a0 The idea of the Little Free Library has spread across the nation and the world, with tens of thousands of registered sites for exchanging books — and now it’s come to Cook\/Douglass Campus!<\/p>\n

Another recently opened Little Free Library in the region, however, has attracted some press coverage with a new twist<\/em> on the concept (pardon the pun).\u00a0 A “Little Free Fiber Library”<\/a> in Philadelphia, maintained by the Wild Hand yarn shop in Mt. Airy,\u00a0 now provides a free yarn exchange for area knitting enthusiasts!\u00a0 While we’d like to think the Little Free Library at Chang is just as newsworthy, we’re not bitter about these cheesesteak-eating sweater-gifting needle-knockers stealing our thunder.\u00a0 (OK, maybe a little.)\u00a0 But if you’d like to exchange yarn through the Little Free Library at Chang, nobody’s stopping you — it’s there for people to share what they value with one another, and knitting and reading are both great ways to spend time and build community!<\/p>\n

(And by the way, Wild Hand yarn shop, if you’d like to make it up to us, I’d accept a hand-knit Christmas sweater with notorious Flyers mascot <\/span>Gritty<\/a>‘s face on it.\u00a0 Men’s large, the scarier the better.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
