Little Free Library book exchange

Little Free Library book exchange
"Take a Book - Leave a Book"
A Little Free Library is a neighborhood book exchange where everyone is invited to take a book or leave a book. Todd H Boll built the first one in 2009, and then founded a non-profit with the goal of inspiring readers and strengthening communities by fostering little free libraries around the world.
RHENA has a Little Free Library located at 2025 E Kleindale Rd. The homeowners, Mike & Jeanne Pfander, built & set up a Little Free Library book box at the street near the east side of their property, and they help keep it stocked with books.
Everyone is encouraged to borrow a book to read and to leave books they've liked so they can be enjoyed by others.
The Seed Library
The Seed Library
RHENA also has a Seed Library located at 3330 N Jackson Ave. Eric & Kathy Hegstrom, who have a beautiful & productive garden in their own back yard, created a structure near the street on the north side of their property, where they, and other neighbors, can put seeds, cuttings, and gardening information to share with the neighborhood.
Many Pima County Libraries and the UofA Library also have Seed Libraries, but as far as I know, a Neighborhood Seed Library is unique to Richland Heights East. Stop by and check it out.
Tool "Library"
Tool "Library"
Over the years RHENA has purchased two "tools" that are available for neighbors to borrow.
A set of metal interlocking stencils for painting 4-inch high house numbers on curbs using spray paint. (The stencils can be used to paint your address in black on top of a white background.)
An electric engraver that can be used to put identification on expensive items (TVs, computers, bikes, etc.) so they can be more easily recovered if they are stolen.
If you would like to borrow one of these tools, please email sandy@rhenatucson.org.

Iskashitaa Refugee Network
Do you have a fruit tree that needs to be harvested?
Iskashitaa can schedule a team to harvest fruit from trees that might otherwise go to waste. This is a way to divert waste from the landfill and support community members.
Each week, Iskashitaa’s dedicated team of refugee & local volunteers harvests produce from backyards, commercial properties, and farms throughout Southern Arizona. They share your surplus produce with their network of refugees and hunger relief organizations across the state.
All you have to do is fill out the Request a Harvest form on their website (see below).
They also take fruit that you have harvested. Just give them a call to schedule a drop off time.
