Finnegan Express
Free Little Library
Hey Kennesaw Families,
We are so excited to announce the opening of the Finnegan Express (our very own little free library). We want to foster a love for books and reading by inviting you to visit our library at any time. Here are some simple guidelines to help us.
You may take or drop off one book a week.
Please only drop off children’s books as we wish to promote this for our Kennesaw Community.
If you have more books you would like to donate for future use, please contact the media specialist Beth Finnegan at [email protected]
Thank you for taking good care for our little library.
