A girl picks through our Pop-Up Library during Concord Community Days. Where do you want our Pop-Up to appear next?
We’ve popped up at schools and concerts, marshes and malls, parks and parties.
Wherever our Pop-Up Library appears, it comes filled to the brim with free books.
That’s right, the books in our Pop-Up Library are free for you to keep forever.
You don’t need a library card to take one or to return the book when you’re finished. (But you should have a library card anyhow. And you can always leave the book in one of our Little Free Libraries if you want to pass it on.)
And we’re not done. You’ll be seeing our Pop-Up Library all around Mentor and Mentor-on-the-Lake this spring and summer.
We’ll be at the Mentor Rocks concerts, BeachFest, CityFest and more! Visit our online event calendar to see all the places we’ll be popping up.
If you want us to bring our Pop-Up Library to your school, church or workplace, email our community outreach coordinator at jason.lea@mentorpl.org.
