Giving Tallahassee a Reason to Smile Richard J-P Bastien, DMD
Start a Neighborhood Lending Library Waverly Hills is a picturesque family neighborhood located near downtown Tallahassee. One of the neighborhood’s many efforts for its community includes a lending library. It all began just this past fall when a member of the Waverly Hills neighborhood decided to build one for their community and it was placed on the corner of Kenilworth and Sterling. The popularity of the minilibrary grew fast with many residents eagerly borrowing and contributing to the collection of books. The Neighborhood Lending Library is free to anyone in the neighborhood and has two sides, one for children and young adult books, and another for adult books.

As the Waverly Hills neighborhood was named after the famous Sir Walter Scott Waverly novels, these books have received a spotlight in this neighborhood’s lending library. Everyone is free to take or leave a book as they please to contribute to the neighborhood. Lending libraries are becoming increasingly popular and are popping up all over the country not only in neighborhoods but also outside of shopping areas, parks, and other locations for anyone to take or leave a book to be shared with their community.
