The Book Cart Returns

I think all the time about how I can fulfill my dream of putting books into the hands of young children in Lindenwold, even the babies. All children deserve a library of their own! I've also heard a lot over the last few years about making Lindenwold into a community school.  My senior project topic will make it happen.

I decided to distribute books to the little ones during intermission during the Thursday performance of Little Shop of Horrors.  I loaded up the book cart and wheeled it out.  The kids didn't exactly pile onto the cart; I had to encourage them.  One dad asked if I had any books about dinosaurs.  CHECK!  A little girl, Jackie Lopez's sister, asked I had anything about princesses!  CHECK!  It was like magic!  The books were right there!

I recruited a handful of my freshmen to pass the books out because I couldn't be there this weekend! A big shout out goes to Aniston Rogers, Chris Camacho, Vanessa Macias, and Adryah-ky Hassan for supervising the cart, and helping kids select the books.  I was told that many older brothers and sisters found something nice for younger siblings!

Imagine making this an on-going thing!  Whenever children come to our school, they will get a bag of books!   What if this were to catch on, and other schools start doing it?
