A Great Week

The high point of the week had to be visiting Sparkle Clean Laundromat in Clementon to set up a box of books for The Laundromat Library League. I pulled out a book and started reading to a precious little girl whose mom left with a bag of books. 

The boy pictured above glowed as he read to me!

Another great moment was picking up 735 pristine books, all sorted by children at Haddonfield Friends School.  Teacher Heather McMahon spearheaded this terrific public service project. Massive book drives are catching on in the area!

Lastly, we had the opportunity to stage a pop-up book fair at Lindenwold's School #5.  This girl packed a bag with books for her ever-expanding home library! 

Pop-up book fairs provide the best way to get quality books into the right hands.  We teachers have the power to stage these whenever we want! And the great thing is that all the books are free! 

BookSmiles gives ALL students the chance to own and read massive amounts of books!
