(Monaca, PA) Rocco Petrick, 13,and his sister Remi, 10 came to Aliquippa City Council last to ask if they can restore the Little Free library located at Main Street and Franklin Avenue. They were approved.
Last Saturday they spent a little over 8 hours cleaning, stripping, repainting and replacing a plexiglass window on the structure. Hinges, a door handle, and a new sign are also part of the project. If necessary repairs or any parts that need replaced the children said they will pay for them. They will check on the Structure monthly, they said they would maintain it.
The structure was erected for a senior class project at Aliquippa High several years ago. The children’s father, Ryan ‘s family grew up in Aliquippa.
The Little Free Library is for children and adults. It is a work in progress.
