We invite our loyal guests to stop by to share a favorite book or find something new.” Stuyvesant Plaza even penned a verse to commemorate the National Poetry Month opening of the new book box: “At Stuyvesant Plaza, a sight to behold, A little free library with stories untold, Nestled by the shops, a haven for all, Where community reads and knowledge stands tall.” For more information on Stuyvesant Plaza and its businesses, visit stuyvesantplaza.com.
