Title: Big Wick Park Mystery
Post by: Towntalk on August 07, 2015, 12:02:40 PM
Who is leaving perfectly good books in Wick Park? This is not a one time event but some good soul keeps adding books 5 at a time it seems. We need to have a Pop Up Free Library placed in the park and name it after the person who started it.

Have any of our outstanding North Siders solved this mystery yet?

Nope, it remains a mystery, but has gained momentum. 
On any given day, there are different books, but always 5 or more books. Many WP folks are involved, while still no one knows who actually started it.

Pretty cool!

Whoever beside the point I hope that the person who got it started is never identified so that this happy mystery is carried on long into the future but it would be nice if a little bookshelf could be located to hold the books if one hasn't already been obtained.

It would be nice if someone could donate a few hours lf their time to sit
in the open pavilion as a sort of unofficial librarian

As for the unknown book donor, it's like the good book says, let your
good deed(s) be in secret

With this gaining momentum, I have read talk around Facebook of the possibility of a pop-up library being started there.
But I kind of don't like that idea. I better like the idea of just unknown folks picking up a book and leaving a book.

I saw that too and that is a wonderful thing for the Rotary Club to do.
