This innovative project was created in 2005 to make free reading available to children and families in public locations. Bookshelves are filled with new and gently-used books. Readers are encouraged to borrow a book, read it, return it to the bookshelf, and borrow another book to read. WCR replenishes the supply of books as needed. Currently there are 15 bookshelves set up. In 2017 three new bookshelves are being installed.
