While still on our 11 day roadtrip, my husband and I made the city of Winslow, Arizona our third overnight stop. While on our way out of town, we stumbled upon this Little Free Library. I left a book here and took one with me.
We even had a short chat with the LFL owner who came over to talk with us. She said she started her LFL at the start of the pandemic during the lockdown. There are a lot of children in her neighborhood and she wanted to provide books for kids to read while they were sheltering in place during the lockdown. What a great inspiration for starting a LFL!!
Winslow, Arizona was a fun town for us to visit. We enjoyed our very short stay there. Winslow, Arizona is located on iconic Route 66!
By the way, this was the first time I'd left book(s) inside a Little Free Library outside the State of California.
Below are a few photographs of the various places we saw in Winslow, Arizona!

We stayed one night at the La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona. What a magnificent hotel with a rich history! I wish we could have stayed 2-3 nights there, but alas (hopefully) next time.
The following information about La Posada Hotel comes from their website:
In 1930, La Posada (The Resting Place) opened to great acclaim as the crown jewel of the Fred Harvey series of luxury railroad hotels. Renowned architect Mary E.J. Colter envisioned every aspect of the design and considered it to be her finest work. Today, that vision is impeccably preserved for the modern traveler. La Posada is more than a hotel stay, it is an immersive experience in art, architecture, fine dining, and the history of early travel in the southwest.

I'll be sharing more LFL finds from our roadtrip and other sites we saw on another day.
