Topanga Area is hosting a book drive to stock up for the unveiling of our very own Little Free Library. Topanga's Little Free Library is scheduled to be unveiled at the Open House on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 10:00 am.

The book drive will be held on Thursday, March 6, 2014, throughout the day, at Topanga Station. Please bring any new or good condition used children's books to donate to the library.

The Little Free Library is a gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, it’s like a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book and contribute another one to share. The library is registered in a national registry where community members can locate it online. All books are free for children of all ages and will be listed by age group reading levels.

It is hoped the Little Free Library will have a positive influence on community quality of life and provide a place for neighbors to meet and get to know each other through “community in the station programs.” LAPD Cadets will serve as stewards of the library to help teach important life skills, ownership of a project, and the importance of community. Additionally, police officers will be involved in providing book-reading programs at the station with local schools.
