Girl Scouts win council authorization to install free little library at Stevens Park
Summary
Girl Scout Troop 8015 received council authorization to install and maintain a volunteer-funded free little library at Stevens Park; the troop will cover construction and routine maintenance from cookie sale proceeds.
Girl Scout Troop 8015 presented a community service project to install a free little library at Stevens Park and the town council authorized staff to continue working through the permit and installation process.
Ashley Anderson, the troop leader, described the box’s location near the park bench by the pickleball courts and said the troop will build the unit with volunteer labor and cookie-sale funds. "We're not asking for any money or anything," Anderson said, and the troop pledged to check and maintain the box several times a month. Park advisory staff and council members praised the literacy and community benefits and the council voted in support by voice vote.
The project requires standard permitting (including utility locates); staff said they will proceed with permitting and installation coordination. Council members encouraged the troop and noted the free little library could support neighborhood literacy and earn the scouts a Bronze Award.
