As we approach September 1st thanks to Danielle for kicking off this new series with “a lonely Christmas Cat (2021 vintage) in the Little Free Library in front of the Salvation Army, corner of Sherman Ave. and Morton St. NW.”

If you should find something of note/unusual in a little free library, please snap a photo and send it to my email at [email protected] and please let me know what neighborhood it’s from. Thanks! Look what I found in a Little Free Library is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.


Thanks to L. for the admission: “I admit guilt to being the culprit for this… I was doing some long overdue weeding/clearing out of my driveway and found this. Seeing as we were out of town and didn’t have a tree last Christmas… This must be the one from 2021”

Please send your September tree sightings to [email protected]

Last Christmas Tree in Town is brought to you by the Friends of the White Whale Society.
