New Little Free Library at the Rec Field Playground

During summer 2024, a new Little Free Library was installed at the Five Road Rec Field Playground.  Community members including Matthew and Kari Dorrbecker (Matt built the library), Pam Raulinaitis, Amanda Benwell, and others worked together with the Town of Carmel to make this happen.  Books are supplied by community members and the Simpson Library.  This will be open seasonally in spring, summer and fall.
