The builder of the little library that lives on Alexander Street calls himself just one of many community caretakers.

Kristjan Marteinsson is very humble about his role in creating and maintaining the lending library sponsored by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society about eight years ago.

91裸聊视频淢y wife was on the board at the time, and volunteering, and she volunteered me to build this little house when the idea came up as something they were interested in doing,91裸聊视频� said Marteinsson. 91裸聊视频淏ut I was happy to do it, I like to build things.91裸聊视频�

In May, the library was knocked over, and it was uprooted again in the past two weeks, ending up damaging a neighbouring business91裸聊视频� window during its movement.

It is unknown if the damage was intentional or not but Marteinsson said he91裸聊视频檚 more than happy to keep fixing the library as long as he is able.

91裸聊视频淪omebody maybe has an issue with the world, and decided to take it out on the little library,91裸聊视频� he said, but added he doesn91裸聊视频檛 hold it against anyone or take it personally and understands accidents happen and people make mistakes.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檒l try to make the base a little more stable, maybe,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 there now, it91裸聊视频檚 known, I wouldn91裸聊视频檛 like to let it become derelict or fall apart.91裸聊视频�

Marteinsson said he is an avid reader, although his intake is mostly digital now for ease of reading.

91裸聊视频淭hat didn91裸聊视频檛 happen easily,91裸聊视频� he laughed, 91裸聊视频渂ut once I transfer things over for myself I91裸聊视频檓 just stuck in that world. Print still has its place in the world, it91裸聊视频檚 important, it helps people access stuff.91裸聊视频�

Marteinsson will continue in his role of caretaker but doesn91裸聊视频檛 believe it makes him special.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 just one of many in this community that takes care of something like this, so people can enjoy.91裸聊视频�
