A Little Free Library has been installed in front of the Gwynn’s Island Museum by the Gwynn’s Island Civic League.
The little library will hold up to 50 books for adults and children, said John Mathiesen, chair of the G.I. Civic League Foundation. That way, island residents can borrow books without having to drive downtown.
