Little Free Library has been launched in New Corydon
Taking Note
Jay County has a new Little Free Library, joining those established in Redkey a few years back.
It also has a Little Free Pantry.
Both are located in New Corydon at 7450 E. Main St.
Books are free to borrow keep. You can take a book and/or leave a book.
The Little Free Pantry works the same way: Take what you need and drop off what you can.
Those involved say the pantry and library are being sanitized twice daily, but they urge people to wash or disinfect their hands before and after touching items in the pantry.
