WORDS OF GRATITUDE

Librarian from CMSD Remote School thanked

Building Bridges with Books

 

“I wish there was a way to share the faces of the kids when they took a book. 

Some were shy, some were not, always gracious in taking. A LOT of children

in our school do not have books in their homes or parents who take them to the public library. It is hard to “measure” your impact, but I can tell you every book you gave went in a flash. One child asked, “why would they do this work?” 

And I said “because they care.” Thank you!”
