20th Street Cottage “Wendy’s Words Library” – Fairy Godmother Friday

A few years ago one of Fairy Godmother Colleen’s dear friends, Wendy Wayne, succumbed to non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Though her life here may have ended, a legacy continued.

Wendy Wayne not only left an imprint on Colleen, but also those of many others!

Two of Wendy’s most dear friends were trying to find a way for Wendy to live on after her death, and with the help of LittleFreeLibrary.org, they found the best way! Honoring a woman who was so much more than an advocate, but truly a soldier in her craft. She not only promoted education, but for everyone to be the best that they could possibly be in order to successfully fulfill their ultimate potential.

“Wendy’s Words” is a community outreach which seeks to gain a greater sense of community, while also fostering and promoting literacy and reading.

As you know, Fairy Godmother is always looking for ways to give back to the community that built such a successful (and fun) business for us! What better way than to give to the community, AND honor a legacy that we hold near and dear to our hearts?!

After a little push and inspiration from Fairy Godmother Cassandra, Colleen knew just what to do. She consulted the help of a woodworker who was able to craft and create an exact replica of our quaint little cottage to host our public library.

Wendy’s Words!

We are so thrilled to be able to share in such a great cause. We hope that everyone who is able finds their way to our own little library, honoring a beautiful woman and contributing to such an amazing cause.

As the 20th Street Cottage door is always open for friends and guests, our “Wendy’s Words, Free Little Library” is as well!
