Here’s where you can find them:
- Duck Creek Park – East Davenport, near Locust Street
- Fairmount Bus Stop – Fairmount and Heatherton
- Sunderbruch Park – West Davenport, near Telegraph Road
- Bechtel Park – Downtown Davenport, near The Last Picture House
You can also see a map of these and other Little Free Libraries around Davenport and the world!
