A message from the Monticello Branch Library staff: Hello library friends, a quick reminder that the Little Free Library cart is out in front of the library from 9 AM – 5:30 PM, Monday – Friday. This cart is filled with books from our book sale or items that have been donate for this purpose. The books on this cart are NOT in our library system and therefore do not need to be returned. If the books have a library label on the binding, the inside of the book should be stamped with the word ‘WITHDRAWN’ on the inside covers. Please do not put currently checked-out materials that you are returning on this cart. All return items should be placed in our Book Return which is located in the wall to the right of our front doors.

If you have visited our free library cart and have an item that is labeled on the spine but DOES NOT have ‘withdrawn’ stamped inside, this is most likely borrowed material that is currently in our system and was mistakenly placed on the cart. If you are using the Little Free Library please double check the books you have taken. If they are or seem to be current material, please return it to our book drop asap. Thank you!
