Little Free Library Stewards Meet-Up Margaret Hopkins was one of three Canadian Little Free Libray stewards selected to receive a mini-grant to host a meet-up for stewards during Little Free Library Week! Margaret held the meeting on her charming Wortley Village porch. “My dear friend Patty Lee of Chain of Smiles crafted Book Bees, Bears and Book Marks to be gifted to the stewards,” said Margaret. “Laurie’s Cookies (lauriescookies.ca) baked up a dozen Little Free Library cookies and I baked scones, monster cookies and rhubarb squares, served with tea from The Tea Haus. Books were donated by The Book Addict and Friends of the London Public Library. Local author, Patrick Cormier popped by and gifted a few copies of his new book Curse of the NugNugs .”

In attendance were fellow stewards Tim and Linda Burgess, Karin and Ed Wrona, Meredith Smith, Nancy Southern, Melissa and Evie Pacheco and Crystal Dawn Harrison. Councillor Skylar Franke arrived via bicycle to bring greetings from the city.
