The 4th and Gill Little Free Library is sort of a birdhouse for books for people.
The Free Library was built honor of one of our 4th and Gill residences father who passed away at age 92. He was a voracious reader of great literature, biographies, and a lot of crappy novels. He was a dentist whose office was in walking distance of the public library in Queens. Every week he would bring home a bag of books he checked out—everything you could imagine—go through the bag in a week and get new ones the week after. They would save him the newest titles, so he’d bring home a lot of bestsellers and anything that was on the New York Times list. He had floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and carried whatever he was reading to the dining room, to his bedroom, outside. He was always with a book.
