LAST Bylaw Review Meeting

October Neighborhood Clean-Up!

Little Lending Libraries are up in Adair Park!

You may have noticed new little libraries going up in our parks.

These libraries have been decorated, installed, and filled with

books by neighbors and friends.

The libraries belong to everybody,

and we hope you will use them to

find new books, share some of

your old favorites, or borrow a

book for a rainy day. Anyone is

welcome to take a book home or

leave a book.

We want all neighbors to know

how important these libraries are

and respect them as community assets. Unfortunately the little library in Bonnie Brae was removed due to

vandalism, and will have to have major repairs. If you are able to help, please contact Friends of Adair Park

at secretary@adairpark.com. Moving forward we ask all neighbors to please treat the libraries gently.

Thanks, and Happy Reading Neighbors!

With the Fall Festival right around the corner, Adairians will be meeting on Saturday morning, October 17th, from 9-12 for a neighborhood clean-up! Meet at 8:30 to form teams at the small playground pavilion (API: Catherine & Lexington).
