Area residents are invited to share and read books from the Little Free Library placed recently in front of the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department building at 201 W. Hydraulic Avenue in the city's downtown courtesy of the efforts of Girl Scout Troop 1441 with the support of city officials. The library was constructed by Jeff Creps with the assistance of the Brownies and their dads. Both Menard's and Home Depot contributed to the project. Community contributors included Carol Morris and Judy Somerlot from the Friends of the Yorkville Public Library and Lynda Cox from the Yorkville Garden Club.
