Slim Pickens in this Little Free Library

Located on Middleton Street on Madison's far-west side.

13 seconds from what is arguably Pickens' most famous movie scene.

This Little Free Library is located along a mid-block sidewalk connecting Elmwood and Hubbard avenues in Middleton.  The mostly obscured stone house you see at the end of the sidewalk is the home of a former Middleton Public Library board president.

A map of registered Little Free Libraries. (Middleton and far west side of Madison.)  Neither of the two I visited today are designated here.

Note the flashlight for nighttime browsing.  (Sorry, I didn't check to see if it actually works.)

Which is why I'm donating this Jane Austen paperback my wife recently read.  (The first book she hasn't read on her iPhone in over a year.)
