Little Free Library Launched in Capiz

It was a beautiful day at the beach when we launched our Little Free Library at Jacque's Coffee and Chills. Friends and family came with books to add to the growing number of books we had collected for the library over a few months. 

Do you know of any library located by the sea? The Little Free Library in Roxas City is on Baybay Beach. So come by

take a book, 

find a shady nook

and read to your heart's content.

Guests queue up to give a book to the library.

Big thanks to Wee Lucas Conlu for giving the free library a viable venue. One with lots of foot traffic. We are excited to bring this project to Capiz. It is only the second one in the Visayas, after Talisay in Cebu. We are also grateful to Christian Francisco Acevedo for hosting the event and for committing resources to the project. We're off to a terrific start!
