UPDATE

Please join us!

This Friday evening, February 3rd from 5:30-7:30pm, we will be celebrating the launch of the first Syracuse Little Free Library. The party is open to the public and will be held at 331 Gifford Street, just a few doors down from the location of the first SYR-LFL. Light refreshments will be served and Design and Library students will be on hand to talk about the project.

Questions? Contact Jaime Snyder, jasnyd01@syr.edu

As we head towards the launch of our first SYR-LFL in a few weeks, we wanted to take a moment to share some news.

• First, we’ve launched our website at littlelibraries.syr.edu. 

All the latest news and details about the project will be posted here, including information about the location for the first SYR-LFL on Gifford Street in the Near Westside neighborhood.

• Second, we are seeking book donations for the Gifford Street LFL collection. 

A list of titles has been compiled by Library and Information Science graduate students which reflects the interests of the community based on our discussions and workshops this fall.  If you are interested in donating a book (or a few!), please review the list of titles we are looking for here: http://littlelibraries.syr.edu/donate.

Once you have identified the book(s) that you would like to donate from the list, email your titles to Jaime Snyder at jasnyd01@syr.edu. When we receive your pledge, we’ll register it on the website. This will help us minimize duplicates and ensure that all the titles identified by the LIS students are represented in the Gifford Street collection.

• LFL Book Drop hosted by 601 Tully on Saturday, January 28 from 10am-12noon. 

Please plan to stop by 601 Tully (http://601tully.blogspot.com/) on Jan 28th to deliver your donation. You will have a chance to place a personalized SYR-LFL bookplate in your books, meet the project team and check out the protoype. When you drop off your books, you can also enjoy a coffee from Cafe Kabul and explore the 601 Tully gallery.

• And last, the launch date for the LFL on Gifford is scheduled for Friday, Feb 3, from 5:30-7:30. 

The event will be held at 331 Gifford Street. More details will follow shortly.

Any questions can be directed to Jaime Snyder at jasnyd01@syr.edu.

Please remember to check the list of books and register for the titles you wish to donate.

Thanks,
