Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you will get to work sawing, drilling, sanding, and assembling yourself. At the end of the day, you will go home with a fully finished neighborhood library ready to be installed in your street, front yard, school, or association.

Why a neighborhood library?
A neighborhood library brings people together. It is an accessible way to share books, meet new people, and create more connection in the neighborhood. With a relatively small cabinet, you often make a surprisingly big difference.
Build something in one day that your neighborhood will enjoy for years.
