Queen City Book Bank installs 200th Little Free Library

The Queen City Book Bank is celebrating several milestones. The organization formerly known as Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati unveiled its 200th Little Free Library Thursday.

The book bank also placed its 200,000th book inside the newly installed library box in Price Hill's Olden View Park.

"We're actually placing an order for 50 more Little Free Libraries because the need is still there," says Queen City Book Bank CEO Michelle Otten Guenther. "When we launched this program five years ago, we started with 50 and we thought maybe one day we'll get to 100. What we have learned from our community is that there is still a need out there and so we're going to continue to grow that program."

Guenther says the goal is to serve 35,000 local students in kindergarten through 6th grade.
