Little Free Library

This winter, a local carpenter donated much of his time and materials to build a little free library. In January 2023 it was installed at the front of the property next to our house, and many donations of books in English, French, Spanish and German have started to populate the little free library, filling a gap left by another local book exchange that closed down over the pandemic.

Although we financed the bulk of the initial lot cleanup and installation, several neighbours have contributed to clean up and landscaping, and our garbage guy at Casa Abierta even donated his weekly pick up services after we installed a garbage bin.

If you are staying at the house or in the neighbourhood, we encourage you to bring along a book or two (extras are stored on the main floor at Casa Abierta) -- the little free library is in particular need of children's books in Spanish. Mobiles, windchimes and painted rocks are also welcome, for the Enchanted Forest next to the library.

Today, a number of book exchanges exist at local hotels. We hope that this more publicly accessible little library and mini-parkette will become a welcome and much loved resource in the Guayabitos community for locals and seasonal residents like!
