Loved this LFL attached to a restaurant in Key West when I visited a few months ago❤️ I always look around for Little Free Libraries when I’m vacationing somewhere! Do you do the same?

This account is basically just a photo diary of all the LFLs I visit 🤣

With the 29th annual Green Parrot Tradesman’s Appreciation Day on tap today, we offer a brief history of the event.

The event was conceived as a one-off nearly three decades ago, when great American sculptor John Martini, whose studio was then located in a foundry on the old Navy base just down the street from The Parrot, would frequent our saloon for a drink after long, late-night sessions creating his unique metal sculptures.

The medium Martini chose to work with, steel-plate and cast-iron, was a physically-challenging one, so he came to The Green Parrot often, to recruit the help of the able-bodied, but often elusive tradesmen known to frequent our corner.

An offshoot of his search was his creation of an 8-foot iron sculpture, inspired by the tradesman he found here, a piece entitled, "Where's Jimbo and the Other Giants of the Building Trade?" acquired, quite fittingly, and hangs in The bar today.

Unveiled with great ceremony, the sculpture featured abstract figures, one wielding a plumber's wrench, plus as carpenter, an electrician, a female painter, as well as sheet-rocker, balanced on his drywall stilts, a facsimile of what the Parrot oft represented -- a bar that has been "Keeping the Working Men and Women of Key West Lubricated Since 1890".

On that day, what seemed to begin as just another Parrot party became the first Tradesman's Appreciation Day--a day dedicated specifically to the working men and women of Key West, and including Buco and Dixie’s laminated Tradesman’s Passes, complete with name, date, Polaroid photo, and the whimsical occupation of your choice!

And, the event predated the now-nationally recognized National Tradesman Appreciation Day established nearly 2 decades later, (Irwin Tools, you’re welcome!)

Pictured in Brita Brooks’ wonderful b/w photos are some Green Parrot Tradesman that frequented that largely blue-collar Green Parrot: Peter Bernhart, Terry Rossman, Fireball Frank, Bruce Gorman aka Captain Conch, and of course, Jimbo the Plumber, now immortalized in John’s “Where’s Jimbo” sculpture.
