ALAMOSA —The new Little Free Library in Alamosa at the Colorado Welcome Center, 610 State Street, is jam-packed with books.
This Little Free Library is a partnership between the Friends of the Alamosa Public Library and the GFWC Woman’s Citizenship Club. Since it will be located at the Depot, it was beautifully painted to represent our local railroad history.
Currently, this library is filled with children’s booklets with titles including "It’s Raining, It’s Pouring," "Hop, Skip, and Jump," and "Pigs All Around."
Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that supports the worldwide movement to offer free books housed in small containers to members of the local community. Little Free Libraries are also referred to as community book exchanges, neighborhood book exchanges, book trading posts, pop-up libraries, and micro-libraries, and have been likened to human bird feeders.
There is another Little Free Library located at the Food Bank in Alamosa which is also supported by the members of the GFWC Woman’s Citizenship Club.
