Free Library PDXThe Belmont Free Library is just that, a publicly accessible free space where community members can both donate and contribute books and literature as well as find titles to pick up and read. Knowledge is power and paramount, read, read, read!
The BFL is made entirely of reclaimed pallet wood with a handful of acquired hardware pieces and plexi for the window. We made it in the collective haus driveway on a sunny project day!
