Danforth area little library finds
Started with this map of 9 Little Libraries

Ended up finding 15
  • 5 hours of walking with our 2 dogs
  • 20,000 steps, 13km
  • Area covered: Pape to Coxwell along the Danforth
  • Two coffee breaks - Red Rocket (delicious smooth coffee)
    and Timothy's (mmmm coconut coffee)
  • Set out to find 9 Little Free Libraries. Found 15 in total. 
  • Met some great people - 2 owners, a friendly dog lady
    and saw protestors with placards (the global women's march was on downtown)
  • Picked up a book, left a cookbook and a lot of Walking Sisters booklets
  • A grey day but spring-like temperatures, +7C! No gloves or hats.

Took Deafening because one of the sisters is deaf
and left a cookbook because one of the sisters is a great cook

Left a Walking Sisters booklet.
We parked the car by this library and
when we returned 5 hours later
we looked inside and the booklet was gone :)

There was a very handsome and amazing husband
at this Little Library. He handcrafted this little library
out of metal for his wife's very special birthday. He even cut
those decorative windows in to the sides of the metal box.
We gave him a Walking Sisters booklet
to give to his wife and told him about our blog.
Before we left, he let us know about another box just down the
street. So off we went for some more walking
and another LFL to add to the map.
600 Rhodes Ave
The little library the nice husband
up the street told us about
