#3QuickPicks on housing and the sharing economy from Azra Basic at the West Valley Branch of The County Library:

  1. Tiny houses built with recycled materials by Ryan Mitchell. "This book describes methods of building tiny homes using recycled materials and provides examples of how different people built their own tiny homes."

  2. Shared living: interior design for rented and shared spaces by Emily Hutchinson. "Shared houses traditionally get a bad rap but the reality of global housing markets has made sharing a longer-term solution for many. Featuring 21 shared homes around the world that are getting it right, Shared Living uncovers the potential of shared spaces." 

  3. Dear Librarian by Lydia Sigwarth. "When Lydia was five years old, she and her family had to leave their home. They hopped from Grandma's house to Aunt Linda's house to Cousin Alice's house, but no place was permanent. Then one day, everything changed. Lydia's mom took her to a new place ― not a house, but a big building with lots of books, and tall, tall steps. The library."

REMINDER: All county libraries have extended their visits to one hour. To check out or download one of today's #3QuicKPicks, visit thecountylibrary.org.
