Foothill High School students Claire and Grace Norman lead The Stacks club to install two Little Free Libraries in Tustin each year, funding about $500 for two boxes at Don Wagner’s district office and the South Coast Performing Arts Center. Neighbors in Santa Ana report tension over homeless access to a library, while Leia Smith notes local libraries attract readers and foster neighborly chats.
