When books are done being library books, sometimes they become Little Free Library books.
Books are taken out of Vernon Area Public Library s collection when they are no longer being checked out or when they re replaced with new editions. Some of these withdrawn books get a second life as part of Little Free Libraries, the neighborhood boxes that invite readers to take a book of their choice. Over the years, Vernon Area has contributed withdrawn books to supply Little Free Libraries in local neighborhoods.
Books find new homes in Free Little Libraries dailyherald.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from dailyherald.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

Starting June 1, Lincolnshire-based Vernon Area Public Library will host a nine-week reading and activities series called Summer Camp.
Public libraries across the nation have hosted summer reading programs since the late 1800s. They began as a way to keep city children busy when school was out. They continue today because they re a great way for people of all ages to grow and learn during the summer months, when schedules are usually a little more relaxed.
