The Henry Carroll Early Childhood Education Center (Henry Carroll C.E.C.E.), formerly known as the Henry Carrol Academy, at 463 Holmgreen Rd, San Antonio, TX 78220 has a nicely built Little Free Library to the left of the sidewalk when going from the street toward the main entrance. The little book exchange box is mounted on a post under the shade of an oak tree in the front yard.

The little library at the Carroll CECE is painted pink with white accents. Pelicans seem to be the recurring theme of the art painted on the front and back of the box. Inside the library that is one shelf in the middle but the box is tall enough for normal sized text books and novels to fill both the bottom and top sections. Since the audience is young readers, it was understandable that all the books in the unit were of interest to young minds and reading levels.

Also, this community book exchange unit was built by Girl Scout Troop 300 to commemorate the City of San Antonio's 300th anniversary as a city! On the back of the box a metal plaque reads: "#38 of 100 Little Free Libraries placed in honor of the Tricentennial by Girl Scout Troop 300. Created by Edgewood Fine Arts Academy and Southwest School of Art."

The concept of the Little Free Library is for people within a community to stop by the unit and examine the selection of books at that time. If you see a book you'd like to read, feel free to take it out and take it with you. If you have books at home that you have already read, you are encouraged to take these books to a Little Free Library and donate them into any little library's book selection. This concept is summarized as: Take A Book: Return a Book. Feel free to take a book you want to read, and feel free to return a book or add a book to this exchange unit, or any others you know of. Your contribution of books keeps the sections varied and keeps the little libraries filled with books for others. Its is a win-win situation.

There is not a geocache at, in or on this Little Free Library unit.
