\n<\/TABLE>As you may know, last year LiveGreen sponsored the construction of a Little Free Library<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Little Free Library was constructed as an Eagle Scout project for Matthew Rothgeb, son of UNMC’s Kim Rothgeb. He collected broken pallets from campus, sanded them down, and constructed a library that has a roof made of repurposed Scrabble boards and tiles. <\/p>\n

Our Little Free Library<\/a> is located next to Cornerstone Gifts in the second-floor atrium of the Durham Outpatient Center.<\/p>\n

Matthew also collected more than 1,500 books to help us keep it well stocked. <\/p>\n
