This week on Fika with Vicky, I’ve invited Author John Kachuba to discuss Little Free Libraries. Aside from being one of my favourite writers of ghost stories and historical fantasy fiction, John is also the steward of a Little Free Library. We’re going to be sharing our experiences, giving a little history on the movement, and spend some time connecting over a mutual interest. If you haven’t already…you may decide you need a Little Free Library too.
