BookSmiles and the Philadelphia Department of Human Services

9/24/2018

Dan McVay, a talented and compassionate supervisor for Philadelphia Department of Human Services, thought it would be a great idea to start putting children's books into the hands of Philadelphia toddlers and kids experiencing trauma, poverty, and abuse. BookSmiles will feed his organization tens of thousands of books over the years.

Here he is, about to load his van with 875 sorted books! Below, you will see his staff members assembling a library that we will keep restocked. BAM!

Wow! What a wonderful idea; books have the stories that fuel the soul for that continued life work of searching for who you are, what you want, and just a distraction from a difficult time.

Feeling grateful for all the wonderful people in the world that believe books heal; most grateful to BookSmiles for making this possible for so many!!!
