While we were out running errands over the weekend, we stumbled across this micro library. Placed right next to the sidewalk, it is a welcome sight for pedestrians as well as animals of the barking variety. This library has dog treats tucked inside waiting to be shared. What a novel idea! *Tina P.S. Please follow…

This micro library popped up a few months ago in front of the two Ronald McDonald houses in Pasadena. The Craftsman style houses are located across the street from Huntington Hospital so it is the perfect location for a library. The architectural style is appropriate as it nicely complements its surroundings and gives a wink…

The newest addition to the micro library network in South Pasadena. My husband and mother alerted me to this one. On an idyllic, treelined street set amongst mature landscaping, this micro library is a winner in the curb appeal department. Time to check out some books! *Tina

Several co-workers told me about this micro library a few blocks from work. Placed amongst a sustainable landscape, this library beckons you to inspect it. With no door and a penny roof, it has lots of character, which adds to its charm. Recently, I spoke about the trend of micro libraries with some new acquaintances,…

Located in Costa Mesa, this micro library is showcasing the rustic aesthetic. If you notice, the structure of the library is built with a wooden crate. Very simple construction yet effective. It definitely belongs in this yard to keep company with the eclectic collection of lawn ornaments and unusual plants.

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
