Sparta Woman’s Club sets up Little Free Library

The General Federation of Women’s Club, or GFWC, in Sparta, has once again dedicated themselves to giving back to the county with a new project in front of the YMCA.

The club has set up a new Little Free Library next to the gate to the pool at the Y, and they are eager for it to help the youth of the county with reading.

A Little Free Library is a small donation box where books are placed for individuals to come by and take the reading material. Taking a book or leaving a book behind for others to enjoy, it helps bring together the community through reading. Since the box is located by the YMCA as well, it guarantees children will see it and have their interest piqued.

This is not the first time the GFWC has set up one of these little library boxes. The original box was dedicated in 2017, but it was more of a volunteer effort at the time. Storms and time wore it down and knocked it away, so the Sparta Woman’s Club really wanted to go all out for this one. With a professional builder on task, they are excited to see the little library fresh and dedicated once again.

The GFWC has also continued their “Flock the Yard” fundraiser. In fact, just before swinging by the new free library case, the group had just flocked yet another yard. The fundraiser has gone great for them so far, and those they have flocked responded positively to the humorous, fun nature of it.
