Wow! I just got home from a magnificent evening! Lindenwold's School #4 had a successful Hispanic Heritage Night. A few hundred children and their families took home 750 books gathered and sorted by BookSmiles.
Below are pictures of happy children and student helpers from Lindenwold High School's Outspoken Club. Principal Dana Lawrence told me that the research defines a personal children's library as consisting of 100 books! I have my sights now set on raising and distributing 250,000 books over the next few years! A big shout-out to Pastor Cedrick Brown and his staff of Commitment Community Church for helping us set up! And thank you, Ferida Wolff, an author who generously gave out a couple dozen copies of her book It Is the Wind. Keep the donations rolling in!
