Read and Share a Book with Our Outdoor Reading Spot
Funded Apr 4, 2024Read and Share a Book with Our Outdoor Reading Spot has really made an impact not only in our school but the community as well. In April, our student council got busy with our newly funded project. We painted the free little library, made a post to put it on, cut shrubs and weeds around the area, painted benches, and the fun part stocked to library with all our favorite books. It was so awesome listening to the kids talk to each other about how they were going to bring their families back to sit and read books.
We had a ribbon cutting ceremony to announce the opening of the library. We invited the county commissioner and he spoke to the students about the library and how he was so excited for the community to use the library. That day a couple families visited the library and read books with their kids and the neat part is they would take a book but always left a book for other families.
On summer break I would visit the library to make sure it was well stocked and found myself sitting a reading some of the new books that families had brought from their homes. I believe this project has taught families that it is free and a good time to sit and share a book together. Thank you to the donors that made this project possible!”
