As a gift for their 50th wedding anniversary last year, Al and Ruth Ens received a mini library.
With enthusiasm, the Ens' consulted with and were encouraged by the city to put up and stock the birdhouse-sized library. Al said people were already taking, leaving, and reading books on the bench within minutes of the library going up on August 3rd at the Parkview Gardens in Winkler.
"We thought Parkview Gardens would be a perfect spot," said Ruth. "What a better place to sit and enjoy a book."
The Ens' noted they can see the library from their backyard and love it is being used so much.
"There have been many, many people here, this is a busy place," Al explained, noting he saw a lady sitting on the bench next to the library reading to her children.
Al welcomes people to enjoy the books and surrounding gardens.
