LITTLE LIBRARIES
Little Free Library is a free book exchange program operating on the honor system. Anyone may contribute a book to share, and take a book to read.
If you want to give a few books, simply put them in a Little Free Library near you. If you take a book( or two), you do not need to return the exact books— and you do not even need to return them to that specific location.
Each Little Library in the area is hosted by a resident or business. Here is a list of locations:
West Mifflin Borough Building, 1020 Lebanon Road His and Hers Hair Salon, 499 Taft Avenue
Winklevoss Field – Dennison Drive, Camden Softball Complex, 600 Helena Street
Soccer Club Complex, Apdale Street Baseball Complex, 767 St. Agnes Lane
