Showcasing the Little Lending Libraries (LLL) Challenge
Marking the culmination of the LLL Challenge, Rotary clubs throughout the District will virtually showcase and celebrate the results of their labors.
From th
e get-go, DG Frank has urged clubs to find ways to increase Rotary’s presence in their communities. As one way to do this, he offered his
Little Lending Libraries (LLL) Challenge. This involves each club investing a few dollars and some sweat equity to build and decorate at least one Rotary-branded little library for installation in its community.
LLL's are weather-proof structures that make a small collection of books available 24/7 to children and families. Take a book, leave a book, and spread the word that literacy is important for all.
Pictured left is the Little Lending Library designed by Rotarian Scott Marcin & built by the Rotary Club of Amherst South Rotarians and friends.
