 MOUNT WASHINGTON — Just in time for summer visitors, the Little Free Library is now open at the Bernheim Forest.

The idea took root in Beth Fox’s Mount Washington Elementary fourth grade classroom at the beginning of the school year.

According to student Berlyn Jones, Fox brought the idea up to her class after hearing about another class donating items to a local hospital.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE -- The outside learning environment in the center of Roby Elementary School has a new name.
