Cathy’s Little Free Library books are always free– never for sale!
The Little Free Library is a movement started by Todd Bol of Hudson and Rick Brooks in 2010 and has grown to include little libraries in most states and in dozens of countries.
The mission of Cathy’s Little Free Library is to promote literacy and the love of reading, foster a sense of community and connection, and create a lasting memorial to Cathy Sanchez-Cañez.
For over half of her life, Cathy, a beloved daughter, sister, mother, friend—and special ed educator, positively impacted the Globe-Miami schools with her extremely generous and kind approach to teaching. Last summer, Cathy’s life got cut short by a surprise summer flood. Since Cathy’s passing, her family and friends have made it a point to continue to do good in Cathy’s name. That is why they are excited to bring Cathy’s Little Free Library to Cathy’s hometown of Globe.
This mini library will be one of five Little Free Libraries dedicated to the memory of Cathy Sanchez-Cañez. Other locations that will host a CLFL include: R & J’s Fine Mexican Food, Leonard Paul’s Pizza, The Knotty Fox Workshop and the public park in Miami.
The Sanchez-Cañez-Diaz Family would like to thank the following members of the community who supported this effort: The City of Globe City Council, Alfred and Lisa Zaragoza from My Mom’s DZynes- Miami Ariz. who handcrafted the very first mini library with love. Mayor Alfred Gameros who did all the exterior painting and detailed artwork on the book sharing box. And, Misty (Escobedo) Burchell, Amy Gonzales, Mike Jones, Richard and Vera Macias, Beckie Madsen , David Ontiveros, Callee Powell, Tina Reed, Laura Reyes , Laura Schemitsch, and Jessica Thompson who generously filled the library with brand new and like new books.
