Project READ!! is back for 2020… for one week only this year. We offer free books to keep for Starksboro youth 18 & under. Youth will have the chance the week of August 3rd to pick out several books -- what we're calling our "short stack!"
On Tuesday, August 4th, the Bookwagon will drive our typical route and make most of regular stops -- although the times have changed because we need more time to make sure everyone stays safe. We'll start the day at Robinson School and be there during the MAUSD Grab & Go pickup as well. Before or after picking up meals, you may park and choose books from our stations, which will be spread out to help make sure everyone is able to maintain 6' social distance. You may also join us at Robinson even if your family isn't picking up meals. Here's our schedule for Tuesday, August 4:
Robinson School 8:30-10:30 (Meal Grab & Go 9:30-10:30)
Hidden Acres 10:45 - 11:30
Jerusalem Schoolhouse 11:45-12:45
Brookside 1:00-2:00
Hillside 2:15-2:45
Lazy Brook 3:00 - 3:30
Can't make it Tuesday? We also will have a chance for youth to pick out free books to keep on Friday, August 7th (at Lazy Brook 9:30-10:30) or Saturday, August 8th (at Starksboro Public Library 10-1).
If you can't make any of these dates/times and are a young person living in Starksboro, we still want to get you books! You or your caregiver can either call Catherine (you can reach her/leave a message @ the library 802-453-3732) or send an email at starksboropl@comcast.net. We store the Project READ!! Books at the library, so Catherine can help you choose a stack of books for your summer reading. We can deliver or offer curbside.
Let's help each other stay safe! Both kids and their caregivers are required to wear masks, use hand sanitizer, and let their hands dry before looking through the books. We also have built in enough time at all our stops so that there will be enough time for everyone to choose and social distance too! Children do not need to be present to pick books, but we do know kids really do like to choose.
See you at the Bookwagon!
