6-year-old librarian's Little Free Library stolen from Ahwatukee

It's not a happy start to the Fourth of July for 6-year-old Anna Wolcott and her family in Ahwatukee, Arizona. Recently, we shared that Anna was one of the first to start up a Little Free Library in her community.
Now, her Little Free Library has been stolen.

Sad lessons in life. :-(

I hope Anna is not permanently discouraged and chooses to try again.

For crying out loud! Is nothing sacred?

Seriously, WHY would you do this for any reason other than to be mean to a little child?

My daughter put one in her front yard two years ago. It is mounted on a pole which is secured in cement - like a fence post. It is well used in her low income neighborhood. Let's hope someone helps this little girl get hers replaced and secured.

i wonder if it was close enough to the curb that someone may have thought it was furniture put out for free/ garbage pickup?? One can at least hope it was just a misunderstanding. : (

I wondered that too- because from the pictures I can see how that might happen.

Was an address or other info ever given out to send books or funds to help her get re-established?
