When Jodeen Percey of Concord first started her little library, it was never meant to be a big deal.
“It started with just the little library and over time we needed to add more shelves,” she said.
Now, her front yard holds a collection that’s outgrown its title.
“I knew I needed to change the name from a ‘Little Library’ to a ‘Not So Little Library,’ because it’s just not a little library,” she said.
Welcome to what could be the country’s first and only place where neighbors can browse through, not just a handful, but hundreds of books, all for free.
“It’s very inspiring for me to keep doing this because the neighborhood uses it,” Percey said.
Her neighbors say this is the Goldilocks of libraries, with a selection of books and a welcoming vibe that feels just right.
“At the public library they’ve got all those different genres and so many to look through you don’t see anything because there’s just so much,” said Lynn Miller, a school bus driver.
