The Free Book Buggie

Sweet reading moments from inside the Buggie at Waite Park Spring Fair last weekend 📚

There’s nothing quite like watching a kid get lost in a book even in the middle of a busy fair. Thank you, Waite Park, for having us! 🌸

324 books. 1.5 hours. One very full Buggie. 📚🚌

We wrapped up the school year with Centennial Preschool yesterday night and the excitement these little ones brought was unmatched. Here’s to a summer full of stories.

reading messages like this from our partners is what gets us out of bed in the morning 🥹☀️ if you need a little feel good boost today, this one is for you.

“We love the books! It was so good to see one little kiddo really love a book and when it was time to leave, she did not want to part from it. Mom said, ‘you have to put it back, it’s not ours.’ Of course, she did not want to, and I was able to tell her she could have it and any other book she wanted. The joy of getting to keep it made my heart swell. Thank you all so much for what you do during this tough economy.”

this is why we keep going. every book, every kid, every moment like this — it all matters. thank you for being part of it. 💛📚
