Kensington Lilliput Library, looking for a guardian
Lilliput Libraries are a great initiative with over 300 registered across the country. I installed this one (LL 259) outside our office in Kensington about two years ago. Each library has a guardian and since we moved I have continued to check in but am now looking to see if there is someone local who would like to keep an eye on it.
It's an easy care task, and with the library constantly changing as people take and leave books, it is also a great community asset.
The role involves calling past from time to time to check that the books are in good order and suitable to share. There might be the odd non book item left that can be removed...otherwise, it's all pretty easy!
If you can help please let me know.
