After experiencing the loss of two pregnancies, Gainesville couple Kate and Dewayne Luevano decided to turn their grief into action.

The Luevanos’ daughter Emerson was lost in the second trimester. A second daughter, Josie, died full term of hemolytic disease of the fetus.

“I like anything that’s tangible,” Kate Luevano said. “I kept seeing Little Free Libraries at parks, and one day I just said, ‘We should just do that. Let’s do it.’”
