Project READ's Bookwagon volunteers will be giving away books at Lazy Brook (off of Hinesburg Hollow Road) on Friday morning, 8/7 from 9:30-10:30 and at the Starksboro Public Library on Saturday, 8/8 from 10-1. Youth of all ages will have the chance to pick out four brand-new books to keep -- and we have everything from board books for babies to graphic novels and YA books for tweens and teens.
We rescheduled last Tuesday's Project READ! Bookwagon event due to the storm, so we will try again on Tuesday, August 11th. Here's our schedule for Tuesday, August 11th:
Robinson School 8:30-10:30 (Meal Grab & Go 9:30-10:30)
Hidden Acres Road 10:45 - 11:30
Jerusalem Schoolhouse 11:45-12:45
Brookside (south of Robinson Elementary School) 1:00-2:00
Hillside (Big Hollow/Ruby Brace Rd.) 2:15-2:45
Lazy Brook (off Hinesburg Hollow Rd.) 3:00 - 3:30
Both kids and their caregivers are required to wear masks, use hand sanitizer, and let their hands dry before looking through the books. Just like the Grab & Go meals, children do not need to be present to pick books, but we do know kids really do like to choose. 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.
