The front yard of the former Red Bank home of the late Norma Todd, who co-founded the soup kitchen Lunch Break, now sports a “little free library” in her honor.
Allison and Mark Gregory, who bought the Bank Street home in 2016, held a small ceremony Saturday to dedicate “Todd’s Book Break,” a name chosen by Norma Todd’s daughters, C. Angela Todd and C. Ann Todd.Â
Mark Gregory said the library was inspired by the “steady flow of visitors” to the house.
“These were people whose lives had been influenced by Norma Todd who wanted to share stories and, I think, make sure we knew how special the home we bought was,” he said.
Among the books in the library’s collection: “Watch Out for the Elephants,” an autobiographical tale by her daughters.
