Granite Shoals does not have a public library. Who should rush to fill that vacuum but the B
oy Scouts? One Scout in particular, a Life Scout member of the Marble Falls troop. The result was three “Little Libraries.” The movement has been around for years. The idea is to make books available for free to people who will take a book and return it or add a book to the program. This one has a concentration of adult type books while the other two -- in city parks -- focus on children’s and juvenile literature.
Between 50 and 60 thousand Scouts earn the highest rank in a year. Only about 8%. One of the biggest requirements is to head up a community project of some sort for a beneficiary outside the BSA. It exemplifies the Scout promise “to help other people at all times.”
Others help the Scout complete the achievement, meaning that communities benefit from millions of hours of volunteer work and many dollars of donated materials. And the Scout develops leadership qualities.
The log is not in the Little Library.
SWAG? Why books of course. Bring one to trade!
