Hello, awesome Hivers!
Although it is already Thursday, I will tell you about my little walk yesterday, because better a little late than never, right?
My son is still getting ready for his move to university and has been getting out of some books these days. Some he has donated, others he has given to friends, but he still has a lot left. And yesterday, he told me that he wanted to take a few to a library box that has been placed on a path near our home. He noticed it when he was walking with a friend a few days ago, so we went there.
The library box has been placed in this walkway near the entrance to the Parque La Fila, which I have already told you about in my Wednesday walks in A wee hike in the afternoon. It has been there for only a couple of months.
It's made of wood, and they've put a couple of wooden benches on either side of the library box. The initiative, as far as we could find out, is from one of the neighbors in the area, who has built the library box himself with the support of one of the local businesses that operate in a nearby shopping area. And apparently, it has been a success. People are going to take books. And most are returning them, according to a neighbor who was walking around the site and came over to chat.
We left the books that my son brought, and we plan to bring more these days.
I love initiatives like this that humanize places and make you feel that there are people who still care. And want to have a better quality of life for themselves and care about what they have around.
We then walked a little way along the path, as we wanted to get to the shopping center that is down the street parallel to it.
And on our way, we were able to admire some small samples of how wonderful nature is, like these fungi. It has been a long time since I had seen such striking ones.
There were also these small fuchsia wildflowers.
And these yellow ones, which were blooming in some trees in the area.
Already when the path approached the area where the shopping center is.
I noticed that there was a woodcarving on the side of the path.
The chatty neighbor we had seen when we were dropping off the books had told us that we would see it and that it was made by the same person who made the library box.
At this point, we crossed to the opposite sidewalk to go to the shopping center. On the pavement, they were already setting up the vegetable market that usually takes place there on Thursdays. It is common in some areas of the city this type of market which is set up once a week with vegetables brought from Los Andes. And now that I think about it, I will have to visit one of these markets these days to make a post for #MarketFriday.
In the shopping center, after going to the pharmacy for a couple of medicines we had to buy, we couldn't help but go to eat ice cream.
My ice cream was dark chocolate with raisins and candied fruit pieces. This was for you and to celebrate your birthday Super Ed @tengolotodo ;)
And thus ends our walk this Wednesday.

What an awesome place to walk through Eli! That must be a very special person to think of this initiative plus then bring it to fruition. The carving is simply stunning as well, REALLY special.
You have reason to be proud of your son as not many young people would even notice this library box👌
Mmmm that ice cream cone is the perfect end to a lovely walk!
I thought the initiative of the person who did it was great, and I am even happier to see that the community is proud of the mini library box and that they take care of it and approach it if someone shows curiosity.
Thanks for the words about my son, and it's not because I'm a proud mother, which I am, hehe but he's awesome ;)
Happy Sunday, Lizzie 🤗
You are a blessed Mama indeed, have a great Sunday Eli!
I am Lizzie 😇🤗
Woah I also loved reading books, I also have some want to donate but sadly teen here wasn't that fond of reading 😅. Ice cream the best 🥰
Teens here in general are not fond of reading either, but it's nice to give them some options. And maybe, one day a change will happen. ;)
Thank you for stopping by :)
Woahoo, those are lots of books and they will be really helpful to others, I'm happy you are giving them out.
That path seems really quiet and calm, I love the flowers too and that wood across the road looks so cool too.
Please do well to keep my chocolate ice-cream 😍😍.
Hi Hope!! I won't forget about your chocolate ice cream hehe when you come to visit, I'll take you there.
Thank you for stopping by 🤗😊
Hehehe, I'm so happy you still remember, I know I will come someday, just keep Waiting for me 🥰🥰.
I will love to have you here, and I will keep waiting for you to come to visit 😊🪴😘
Please do, I pray it will be sooner than we think 😊😌.
😊🤗🌸
People will love reading those books ~ it's always Good to donate as it helps other to gain knowledge.
Agree that still people care about these things have a huge impact in society.
Really loved all of your clicks are awesome and such a lovely walk it was.
Enjoy your day ahead.
Hi, Idk
I love it when books are given to those we know will benefit from them. The idea of the library boxes is so good.
Thank you very much for your kind words. 😊
Have a nice day too when the sun rises over there :)
Hey Co, Respect to you and your son! Yea that idea of library boxes lacks here maybe in future I will do it taking inspiration from your country!
My pleasure and Thanks it's night over here but I ain't sleeping anytime soon. Haha!
I hope you eventually have some there too. This is in fact the first one I have seen here. I hope you got some rest, hehe In any case it is a good morning to your time now ;)
Have a great day :)
what a cool mix on your walk, I love those little library boxes, good to se them getting popular in more and more places around the world
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
The library boxes are so cool, and this is the first one I see here. Hopefully, other neighborhood parks will cheer up and follow the trend. Cheers!
Cheers
We have a similar mini library at our neighborhood park. I think it's a great initiative to encourage people to read.
Oh, that's pretty cool. It's a big one. It's a great way to encourage people to read.
Oh its Kuya @tengolotodo birthday? Maligayang kaarawan Kuya!🎊🎊🎉.
I love that Idea of librart box as I am.fond of reading too!
I can stay all day at home along with mu books and phone.
Though I am into romance genre.
We have same choiced, chocolatr flavor is my first choice
Ed's birthday was yesterday, yes ;)
I love to read too, and I prefer to read more than watch TV
And I confess I'm a chocolate addict, hehe
Thank you for stopping by :)
hehe salamay inday it was yesterday and I did have no ice cream, so @coquicoin had one for me :)
Tuve que hacer ese pequeño sacrificio por ti Super Ed 😜😄🍦

Yummy! hehe ¿De qué sabor te lo comiste, Super Ed?

Hehe!! ok Vanilla Boy ;) 😄 🍦🍦
Wonderful walk @coquicoin 😊
And it is great those library boxes… a nice thing to add books. One can never read enough books, and passing them on. Makes it even better.
Have a wonderful Thursday 😊👋🏻☀️
Hi Jackie
The idea of these library boxes has always seemed great, and this is the first time I've seen one here.
Hope you are feeling better and that you are having a nice day 🤗
Hi @coquicoin 😊👋🏻
Yes, the idea behind them is just great. Here they don’t have them, but I have seen them on my travels.
Slowly getting there, every day I feel a bit better. So that’s good 😊 I’m happy about that 😎
Thank you so much.
Enjoy your day further 👋🏻☀️🌺

jeje thank you for the ice cream picture and thought Super Eli!
I do love the book swap ideas that are getting more common, and love this one made in wood and the statue that he made, it reminds me of bat statue carved out of wood on the way to Raith lake which we saw again tomorrow!
And you are awesome, Rodrigo is taking after you with his kindness:)
You are welcome Super E. Maybe someday we could go have ice cream together with Mrs. T and Mr. C 😄😄
I also loved this wooden library box, and it's the first one I've seen here. I hope other parks will be enthusiastic and do the same.
Thank you, Super Ed, you are so sweet, Modesto but sweet jaja 😉
hehe all chocolate I eat keeps me sweet Super Eli
Yes ice cream together would be so cool!
Yeah i love the library box and the wood makes it special too!
Oh gosh!!!😂😂 I almost spill my coffee, jaja. Where is the warning, Super Ed!!!
No comas tanto chocolate, no vaya a ser que te vuelvas empalagoso Don Modesto 🤣🤣🤣😜
jeje I love it when I can catch you by surprise Super Eli
I am actually getting caught up again with Hive!
pero nunca puedo tener demasiado chocolate.
Sometimes you do surprise me Super Ed 😂😂

That's a lot of book and he did well by giving it out to the library. I gave mine out to my cousins when i was leaving for the University and some to my alma mata.
It's the first time I have seen one of those boxes here. But they are a good option, and nice to have them in public spaces.
Thank you for stopping by :)
Wow. I love that wood carving Coqui! And the ice cream it's a great way to end the walk. I love the initiative of your neighbour too.
It's a lovely initiative, and I'm glad to see people are taking care of it.
The ice cream was yummy. I hope all is fine with you.
Thank you for stopping by, Murakami 🤗

The ice cream made me crave for some lol! The wood carving was a nice find. I hope there were more. It's cool that you have mini library like that and good to see a lot of books.
Hi, Kuboy. I just saw Ed tagged me in a post where you show one of these mini libraries. This is the first one I see here, and I found them so cool :)
Happy weekend!
!PIZZA
I thought it's more common there than here. It got me excited when I saw it here in our city too. I hope there will be more.
I hope there will be more here in the future too :)
Oh I loved this library box, I could forget myself for hours sitting on the bench reading with nature all around me
The place is perfect to spend some time reading there. Thank you for stopping by :)
You made more discoveries about nature and that was one cool carving.
What a serene environment to take a walk, such stunning shots🥰❤👌👌
Thanks for sharing this my sassy partner 👌❤💞💞😊😇
You are welcome sassy partner! And thank you for your kind words. 🥰
Have a wonderful Friday 😊😄
That's a beautiful area, and a very nice way to share books 🙌 I hope ot catches on, and another box is needed soon!

Hi, @wrestlingdesires! Thank you for stopping by and for the support. Very much appreciated :)
I also hope that more parks will follow the initiative. Creating reading habits that have been lost in time is very important for individuals and society, and this kind of initiative can encourage people to read. Cheers!
There's nothing like reading outdoors on a nice day too :) ...
I totally agree 😄 Happy weekend!
I bet you enjoyed your stroll. A community library box is such a great initiative. I like that the person who built it is using his skill and art (the statue) to support and benefit the community. I like too that the pieces are from wood, quite fitting for a nature park.
I should search around my community for a box. There are several books I could drop off. Lol!
It is a great initiative. And I too love the action of this neighbor, who is using his skills for the community, and to make a space more pleasant for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the weekend!😊
😃Yes it’s quite inspiring.
Thanks for sharing your little walk ,I got curios the black ice cream😁its taste is the same with the other icecream?
It's dark chocolate ice cream. The flavor is more choco hehe
Oh wow, I love that someone thought of such initiative for the books. And the place looks peaceful and could be a nice spot to spend some minutes to let the mind wander and wonder :)
Thank you for this walk sis, it's amazing to see all those around and you perfectly ended it with coned ice cream, yum!

I could really stay there for a couple of hours and sit and read on one of those benches. Who knows, maybe I'll do it one of these days. The ice cream was super yummy, sis.
Happy day to you when you wake up :)
