A new little free library has landed in Palisades Village Green, thanks to the support of local educator Marney Sobel, who runs a slew of youth-based programming in Pacific Palisades under the MARNEY’S banner.
“Bringing this to our community is part of my commitment to fostering a love for reading and lifelong learning,” Sobel said to the Palisadian-Post. “We are all absorbed in our devices and make little time for the very basics such as getting lost in a book/story. My hope is that this new addition will encourage both children and adults to slow down and take a moment to be screen free.”
Those who visit the library at Palisades Village Green are encouraged to take or leave a book—all free of charge.
“The Board of the Village Green unanimously voted to approve this fantastic initiative, aiming to enhance our community experience in a whole new way,” read a post by the Village Green on social media.
Programming offered by MARNEY’S includes book clubs, language clubs (French, Spanish, Italian), tutoring, test readiness, pre-K lunch bunch and storytime, kinder programs, crafts, yoga and a babysitter’s club. MARNEY’S will begin its summer programming (including book clubs and next grade school readiness) July 8. For more information, visit marneys.us.
