We had such a great time last Friday at Clarksville Parks and Recreation’s Touch-A-Truck event! 📚

It made our day to see so many sweet kiddos stop by our table, pick out a book and take a new story home with them. Thank you to everyone who came by to say hello—and to Clarksville Parks & Rec for letting us be part of such a fun day for the community! 💜

📖✨ Every book fair needs a team of caring hearts.

When you volunteer with the Addie & Baylor Foundation, you're doing more than setting up tables or handing out books, you're helping children experience the excitement of choosing a book that's theirs to keep. Those smiles, stories, and moments of confidence can last a lifetime. 💜

We're building our volunteer team for upcoming book fairs and our annual gala. We would love to have you join us. Whether you're an individual, family, or group, there's a place for you.

Interested? Email us at [email protected] to learn more and sign up. We'd love to have you on our team!

✨ Book of the Month ✨

This month, we're looking up! 🔭

In celebration of our exciting partnership with the Kentucky Science Center, we're featuring 100 Things to See in the Night Sky by Dean Regas. From constellations and planets to meteor showers and the moon, this book encourages young explorers to discover the wonders waiting just above them.

Whether you're reading with your little one before bedtime or heading outside to spot stars together, it's a wonderful reminder that curiosity begins with asking questions and opening a great book. 📚

📚💜 Help us put more books into the hands of children who need them most!

We're looking for volunteers to help at our upcoming book fairs in Louisville and Southern Indiana. Whether you can lend a hand for a few hours or an entire event, you'll help create joyful moments as children discover books they'll get to take home and keep.

No special experience is needed, just a heart for serving children and a love of reading. 📖✨
