• Little Free Library in Windsong Park?

Looks like Wildomar is about to get its third Little Free Library. The location is slated for Windsong Park. This endeavor is being headed up by Natalia and the Rupp family.

There is a GoFundMe page seeking to raise the $700 necessary to install one at the site.

Link to GoFundMe page.

INFO FROM THE GoFundMe PAGE

"We have been given approval by The City of Wildomar to place our first community Little Free Library at the Windsong Community Park in Wildomar, CA. Our hope is to have the Little Free Library installed before the start of this school year to ensure students have access to books for school and home."

A look at the Little Free Library on Wanki.

"We believe that this Little Free Library gives us an amazing opportunity to provide books to our community."

"We believe all kids should have an adequate amount of reading material in their home."

"We believe all kids have an innate desire to read and be strong readers."

"We believe we can bring excitement and joy to kids' lives by providing books through our libraries and community events."

"We can ALL be great influences in kid's lives. Let's stop making excuses and instead start making a path to provide access to quality books."

Kids love books.

"Do you want to make a lasting impression on community literacy and access to books? Then please consider donating!"

"We are in need of donations to purchase and install the new library. We also would like to purchase a wagon that can pull large book loads for community events." 

What a great opportunity to donate to the community, and get a little recognition for your business at the same time.

It can't be too difficult to find seven businesses in Wildomar wanting to be part of this project... right?

Wildomar's first Little Free Library, located at DeJong's Dairy.

"Sponsor plaques will be attached to the library post with a donation of $100 or greater." 

"This plaque will have the family name, business name or individual name printed on it and attached to the front of the library post to show the community."

Another great location for a Free Little Library would be the new gateway park at Malaga and Mission Trail. Instead of a resident doing all the work, how about a local service organization this time?

Either the Boy or Girl Scouts, Rotary, Caring Hearts, Elks, Wildomar Historical Society... I wonder if any of the above are interested in such a thing?
