(Batesville, Ind.) - Batesville High School special education teacher Traci Rowlett and her students have been working on a project to make books more available to community members.
The Batesville Community Free Little Library can be found near the food pantry outside of the Batesville Area Resource Center.
Rowlett says her class decided to create a Little Library as part of their monthly community service projects.
The former newspaper box was donated by a local news outlet and is registered with littlefreelibrary.org.
Rowlett adds, “We are planning to continue stocking the library with books for years to come!” Area residents are also invited to donate.
