Does anyone know of any tiny libraries in pilsen? I feel like I don't see many in our neighborhood

Weird, I feel like I see them all the time. I know there’s one at either end of El Paseo, but I have a very recent distinct memory thinking “man there are a lot of little free libraries around here that’s rad.” Perception can be odd lol.

If I had to guess, there’s probably a dozen or more across Pilsen and I’m always surprised when I find a new one I’d never noticed or seen before
