GRAVEND LITTLE LIBRARY

 It is a cold and windy day, the type that one would be better off sitting in bed, covered with a blanket, the heat on, doing something enjoyable like reading a book.  That was my plan, at least to stay indoor as much as possible, but then I happened to look around the Little Free Library app and learned that there is a new one in my neighborhood.  It is called Gravesend Little Library and its charter number is 217085.  Until recently, 20abcd to me is considered new, but now it's 21abcd already.  Nice to see that people are opening new LFL and register them.  I know about dressing in layers but up until today I only do that for the upper body.  Today, I dressed in layers for the lower body, too, to make the short, but cold and windy, walk to Van Sicklen Street and Avenue V.  From the hint in the LFL app, I know it's near Gravesend Cemetery, but I could not find it at first.  Then it almost hit, it's attached to a utility pole!  I love the guerrilla tactic but not sure how long the utility company will allow it.  It was good to see that even though it is new it did have some books.  I added five books and didn't take any.  I signed in via the app too, First Customer, yay!
