We’ve being visiting Orange County every weekend since the beginning of the year so I decided to see what was close to our route. This library is located in Costa Mesa in front of a townhouse complex and across the street from a school. A perfect location that I hope gets lots of use. *Tina

Photography Monday: Micro Library #8
The time had come for me to venture out to see what other libraries were in my community. This two-story library can be found nestled in a small neighborhood near the 210 Freeway. Complete with solar lights and a drinking fountain, this library is serving all those that pass by. It looks like it needs some…
Photography Monday: Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden Part II
Situated on the campus of Cal State University Long Beach, this 1.3 acre Hill and Pond Japanese-style garden was built through a generous donation from Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in honor of her late husband Earl Burns Miller. In the planning stages for three years, construction began in the summer of 1980 and the garden was dedicated in the…
Photography Monday: Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden
About a week ago, we were visiting the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at Cal State Long Beach to reconnoiter for an upcoming event. While we were inspecting the tent, this crane decided it was time for lunch so he swooped in and scooped up a small koi. He swallowed it whole. We came out into the garden…
Photography Monday: Micro Library #7
Back in South Pasadena, this micro library is located half a block from my home. Isn’t it adorable? And, it is a charming addition to their newly renovated landscape. It has been open for less than a week. I am thrilled that more micro libraries are opening in my community and I hope the trend…
Photography Monday: Micro Library #6
This library isn’t a part of LittleFreeLibrary.org, but a micro library nonetheless. A friend of mine told me about this one tucked away in a small neighborhood in South Pasadena that is one block from Trader Joe’s, close to a soccer field and about three blocks from an elementary school. Much larger than the other…
Photography Monday: Micro Library #5
Yesterday, we were in Glendale at a private home celebrating a friend’s wedding anniversary. Since I wanted to expand my search of micro libraries, I decided to see if there was one in the vicinity. As luck would have it, there was. This charming library is located in Verdugo Park, a mere two minutes away…
Photography Monday: Micro Library #4
Well, I thought South Pasadena only had three micro libraries. Welcome #4. My friend that told me about #3 found this one soon after and she was certain it was brand new. It is and has been open for two weeks. This library is in perfect harmony with the house and so charming. It has…
Photography Monday: Micro Library #3
The smallest of the three in town, but no less charming. I love how the books are haphazardly stacked, which goes against my neatnik nature. My town only contains these three so it might be time to scour the area for some more. A library implies an act of faith. -Victor Hugo *Tina
Photography Monday: Micro Library #2
Life happens and I had to take an unexpected break from the blog since Thanksgiving. I am back now to share with you the discovery of another micro library in my town. Coincidentally, it is located across the street from my parent’s home. As I mentioned before in my first post about micro libraries, they…
