  • The Little Library that could

    By Lauren HeatonAugust 16, 2012

    Love of reading can now be shared at a neighborhood level using the new tiny library in Moya Shea’s yard at 310 South High Street. The little library operates more like a swap: take a book, leave a book.

    Daniel Pearson planted a low-maintenance cover crop of violets in the backyard of his Lawson Place residence.

Pearson worries herbicides will be used to kill the vegetation, which is out of compliance with the property owners, Greene Metropolitian Housing Authority. (Photo by Megan Bachman)
