How Heroic Jacobs Operators Rebuilt Their Little Free Library

Jacobs and the Village of Carol Stream, Illinois have been partners since 1997.

Undaunted, our Jacobs heroes brought this literary treasure back from the ashes, better and stronger than before. Read the touching full story on jacobs.com.
