Little Free Library Update:
 
Tricia's Little Free Library on  Cable Road sponsored by Rye Public Library and The Friends of the Rye Public Library would normally open at this time. Though spreading good will [and we can all use some of that] is the driving force behind the Little Library, because of concerns of infection through the unregulated exchange of book materials, we have to postpone this year's season. The RPL Little Free Library will remain closed until a
future decision can be made based on regional conditions. We hope to be able to resume service later this summer.



Remember RPL is a local collection point for Box Tops For Education support
