FROM: FRIENDS OF THE BARBARA ROSE JOHNS FARMVILLE-PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY COMMUNITY LIBRARY LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES AND THE SUMMER READING LISTS
If you have trouble locating or purchasing the books on the PECPS Summer Reading Lists—or if you know others who have trouble doing so—here are some suggestions. First, you can check at the Barbara Rose Johns Farmville-Prince Edward County Community Library (1303 West 3rd Street, Farmville) to see if the book(s) are available there. It’s easy to get a library card, and then you can check out a book, read it, and return it so that others can then access it.
Second, the Friends of the Farmville-Prince Edward County Barbara Rose Johns Community Library oversees six sites for Little Free Libraries in this area. Every spring or early summer, copies of books that are on the Summer Reading Lists are placed in these sites. It’s true that the exact book that you want may not be at the first of these Little Free Libraries that you visit, but it’s well worth checking out the possibility. For your information, each Little Free Library operates based on the honor system of "take a book, leave a book." The LFL Committee of the Friends of the Library keeps these sites filled with adult and children's fiction and non-fiction books, and throughout the summer, includes in the collection copies of the various Summer Reading Books from the lists provided by the Prince Edward County schools. So you should replace the book you borrow with a different book, and/or try to return the book you borrowed to the Little Free Library after you read it.
Currently, the Friends of the Barbara Rose Johns Farmville/Prince Edward Community Library maintains six Little Free Libraries at these locations:
Jenkins Blue and Gray
23182 Prince Edward Hwy, Rice, VA 23966
460 Mart
7723 Prince Edward Hwy, Prospect, VA 23960
Rick’s Mini-Mart
14315 Farmville Road, Meherrin, VA 23954
Worsham Grocery
6311 Farmville Rd., Farmville,
VA 23901
Darlington Heights VFD
2673 Darlington Heights Rd.
Cullen, VA 23934
Parkview Gardens Office
204 Parkview Gardens Dr.
Farmville, VA 23901
A number of organizations in this area sponsor Little Free Libraries, but the Friends of the Community Library make a special effort to offer books from the PECPS Summer Reading Lists. You can recognize one of the Little Free Libraries sponsored by the Friends of the Barbara Rose Johns Farmville-Prince Edward County Little Free Library if you see our logo on its front!
