Hello there! I am the owner of the Little Free Library in Upper Cape, NB. I just checked my Little library and noticed the very generous donation of new books from your organization. What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so very much for thinking of us and adding to our library. Your kindness truly made my day.Cheers!
For the second summer in a row, QLNB responded to an absence of community events by bringing books written, illustrated and/or published by New Brunswickers to free community libraries from Passamaquoddy Bay at the western mouth of the Bay of Fundy, east to Baie Verte in the south of the Northumberland Strait.
We stocked NB books in two libraries in St. Andrews, as well as one each in Saint George, L’Etete and Lorneville. We stocked an inner-city library in Saint John's south-end, and another in an east side neighbourhood, as well as libraries at the Little River Reservoir, Red Head and Hampton.
We placed books beside the Saint John river in libraries located in Brown’s Flat, Bates Landing and Long Reach, and also further inland at Tracy, Waterville and in Rusagonis. Finally, we placed books in both of St. Martins' little free libraries, as well as a library in Riverside - Albert and another in Upper Cape.
Major funding for this project comes from a New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture Literacy Promotion Grant. Additional support has come from private and corporate donations.
