Columbia's Little Free Library By Trey Stephens City of Columbia | Assistant to the Mayor Have you ever passed the wooden box full of books next to City Hall and wondered what it was? well- this is Columbia's Little Free Library. The Little Free Library is a worldwide organization based in Minnesota with over 200,000 locations in 120 countries spread out over all 7 continents. The premise of a Little Free Library is that residents will stop by to pick up a new book and leave a book they have already read for the next person. The City of Columbia is the steward of Little Free Library #162137, which has been operating for over 2 years. Columbia's Little Free Library is sorted into two categories, with both a children's and adult library. It is presently curated by Jada Atwood, the City of Columbia Finance Officer. The Little Free Library in Columbia has been successful, and it is estimated that over 1000 books run through the network of Columbia's Little Free Library every year. So, if you are an avid reader, just a casual page turner, or have a child that is learning how to read, please feel free to stop by the Columbia Little Free Library. Just remember, if you take a book, share a book! Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2025-07-29 13:54:18 | Comments

TJRH teams up with Buckle Up for Life on car seat safety From Stacey Biggs Glasgow, KY - What if there was a way to prevent a leading cause of childhood death, but three out of four of us were doing it wrong? Together, T.J. Regional Health and Buckle Up for Life, the national car seat safety program from Toyota and Cincinnati Children's, are sharing child passenger safety education with south central Kentucky families. The program's trained specialists will work closely with families and caregivers to educate them about all aspects of car seats, booster seats, and seat belts. Families in need will be matched with certified child passenger safety technicians to learn how to install them properly. "We know that proper use of car seats and booster seats can mean the difference between life and death in a crash," said Gloria Del Castillo, child passenger safety expert at Cincinnati Children's and senior specialist of community engagement for Buckle Up for Life. "That's why Buckle Up for Life is so committed to our work with T.J. Regional Health to teach parents, caregivers and children in this area about the proper use of car seats and provide free seats to families in need." This program will help enable the T.J. Community Mission Foundation to provide even more car seats through their T.J. Sweet Seats Car Seat Program. This program is dedicated to ensuring the safety of children in this community. The primary goal is to provide high-quality car seats to families in need, promoting safe transportation practices for young passengers. By partnering with local organizations and first responders, TJCMF aims to educate caregivers on the proper installation and use of car seats, reducing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.
