Little Free Sled Libraries Come to Muskegon Parks
Several Little Free Libraries have popped up in my neighborhood during the pandemic, and I love it! Such a cool idea to have books that people can borrow, read, and bring back. Well, a woman in Muskegon has taken that idea and used it for sleds!
MLive reports that Lynnette Marks built a crate and set it up at Beachwood Park, 3157 Dune St. Neighbors soon helped to stock it with sleds, and now anyone car borrow one to zip down the beloved sledding hill at Beachwood park.
Others have been inspired and now more sled libraries are popping up at other parks. Lakeside’s BananaDog store put one up at Lake Harbor Park, and there are plans for one at McGrath Park.
Muskegon is the Latest to Slide Into the Free Sled Library Trend
Free sled libraries are popping up all over the Northern states. West Michigan now has a couple.
We re seeing fun become a major priority in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and now West Michigan with pop sled libraries as seen in the videos at the bottom of this article. Last week the Banana Dog Store posted about the free sled library on facebook,
People can do AMAZING things no matter how small.for the community! Spread generosity! Thank you to our B-Dog friend Lynette for bringing her sledding library to our attention!
Father and son build ‘Little Free Sled Library” at Eau Claire hill
EAU CLAIRE (WQOW)- If you re looking to make the best of our wintry conditions and go sledding, but don t have a sled of your own, a family from the Eastside Hill neighborhood has you covered.
Chad and Owen Rowekamp recently built what they call a Little Free Sled Library at Seven Bumps Hill next to Forest Hill Cemetery in Eau Claire. The two built a stand that holds several sleds for locals to borrow and return before they leave.
The two got the idea from a similar stand they saw in the Twin Cities, and decided to do the same as a father-son project to give the community a free and fun activity.
