Tampa Bay, FLLocal News

Following Hurricane Milton, Chris and Jennifer Wright took proactive steps to protect their Little Free Library in Temple Terrace by dismantling it before the storm. Once the storm had passed, they rebuilt the library, which was aging and in need of repair due to wood rot. The couple's efforts were recognized and appreciated by the neighborhood, with many residents expressing their gratitude as they passed by. As structural engineers, the Wrights decided to enhance the library's construction, making it larger and more resilient. This initiative not only provided a literary resource but also fostered a sense of community amid recovery efforts.

Jennifer highlighted the importance of this library to the local residents, especially after the hardships posed by the hurricane. Their project exemplifies community resilience and the positive impact of local initiatives. The restored Little Free Library now stands as a testament to the strength and spirit of the Temple Terrace community.
