I love southern Colorado. It's beautiful here, and very peaceful. But for a booklover, it's also a bit sparse. We have a great library in Alamosa -- but it's 45 minutes away. The Fort Garland library means well, but needs a little help.
So we did the next best thing: started up a New Little Library by Calvary Blanca Church. It's only a few miles away, in Blanca, CO at 607 Broadway...or use this map connection.
I have had so much fun, helping to stock it!
It was built from an old cabinet, as the starter. Various people, yours truly included, added the roof and shingled it, added the steeple, painted it and put on the charter number. Some extra wood trim needs to frame the windowglass, and a painted 'door' is planned for the side,
but that should happen in the next few weeks.
Friend Kathy is standing by it here, looking cute.
Here's the church it resembles: Calvary Blanca (607 Broadway). The LFL is right by the announcements sign. Currently, it's got a special group of kids' and adults' books on Christmas, as well as a number of other selections.
That's the Blanca Mountains behind it: known as "the girls" in our house.
