Child urges River Forest to install Little Free Library at Village Hall
Summary
Local boy Jack Drury asked the board to place a Little Free Library in front of Village Hall; trustees and staff supported the idea and said they would order and install it within weeks.
A River Forest child asked the village to install a Little Free Library outside Village Hall, and trustees agreed on the spot to move forward.
"Placing one right in front of the village hall is especially poetic. It says stories live here," 10-year-old Jack Drury told the board during the public-comment period. President Katherine Ducey and members of the board applauded the idea; staff said the village will place the order the next day and expect installation in the coming weeks. Jessica (staff member) said she has been coordinating with Director of Public Works Jack Bac and that the village will handle installation logistics.
The board did not require a formal vote to approve the concept and asked Drury to help promote use of the library. Ducey said the village will ensure Drury's book is included in the box once it is installed.
