'A little act of kindness': Wheeling girl builds grocery pantry for IndianTrailsLib
The house-shaped, wooden pantry -- resembling many of the Little Free Library book exchanges that can be found across the suburbs and around the world -- stands on a post on the north side of the library at 355 Schoenbeck Road, near the drive-through lane.The miniature pantry -- possibly among the first in the Northwest or North suburbs -- was the brainchild of Indian Trails patron and Wheeling resident Maya Schaab, who celebrates her birthday each year with public service projects.
"It became one of my favorite books," the real-life Maya said."It inspired me to do something for my community to help people who are experiencing food insecurity." Maya and her family are responsible for keeping the pantry stocked and maintained. They check on it every other day. "She shows a lot of leadership initiative for a rising fourth-grader," library spokeswoman Jen Schmidt said.
