Food truck at Little Free Library ribbon-cutting

The Noble Carrot Little Free Library is open for use. This is a community library open to all. Stop by, borrow a book, return that one or a different one and borrow another.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at noon Saturday, Oct. 11, at The Noble Carrot Co-op store, 230 Reinking Road in Pingree Grove. There will be entertainment, refreshments sold by the "Food Truck Wars" winner Glutton Force 5, which is known for their Taco in a Bag.

They would like to acknowledge Gary and Diane Meyer, Kurt Kurlek, Girl Scout Troop 580, everyone who has donated books, time and money to get this neighborhood library off the ground.
