KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Clear Lake State Park has received an early holiday gift from the Friends of the Lake County Library.

A Little Free Library was delivered to the park and will soon be installed in an area easily accessible to park visitors.

Little Free Libraries have been appearing across the nation as a way to promote reading for children and adults and to demonstrate the role public libraries play in that endeavor.

They work on the principle of “take a book, leave a book.”

The Friends of the Library decided that a Little Free Library in Clear Lake State Park would be a great way to support the mission of the Lake County Library and the park is happy to host it.

The Friends will keep the Little Free Library stocked for the reading enjoyment of park visitors and look forward to seeing what books are left in return. The next time you visit Clear Lake State Park, check it out.

This is a great time to support the Lake County Library.

The Friends are currently holding a fundraiser, running through Jan. 31. Donations made during this time, up to $5,000, will be matched dollar for dollar by the Friends. The goal is to raise $10,000 for the Library to use to purchase new books and materials.

Please send your tax-deductible donation to Friends of the Lake County Library at 1425 N. High St., Lakeport, CA 95453.
