PHOTO SUBMITTED Resident Penny Bryant and her son-in-law Dave Fredericks display the new Little Free Library outside SunnyBrook Assisted Living's main entrance. Fredericks built the library and his wife Sylvia gave to Bryant as a Christmas gift. Bryant's lifelong love of reading was their inspiration. The website www.littlefreelibrary.org explains 'Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that inspires the love of reading, builds community, and sparks creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world.' Everyone is welcome to take or contribute books from Bryant's library. Anyone who takes a book does not need to return that exact book. Little Library book exchanges function on the honor system; everyone contributes to ensure there are always quality books inside. This is the fifth Little Free Library to be registered in Fairfield.
