Appomattox County Public Schools held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, May 15 for the Little Free Library. This initiative was started in hopes to provide a place for the Appomattox Community to find joy in reading while delighting in the beauty of our community park. This library is based on the take a book, share a book premise. Everyone is welcome to come find, trade, and enjoy books of all kinds at any time of day!
Special thanks to Tyler Cooke for her commitment and dedication to the project and for the generous support of our community businesses listed below:
Courtland Park Foundation, J.E. Jamerson, Appomattox Glass, Hurt & Proffitt, Roy Murray, John Wright, Garriss Flower Shop, Appomattox & Lynchburg, Chambers of Commerce, Appomattox Primary School, Appomattox County Board of Supervisors, Appomattox County School Board
