Thank you!!!

We owe another HUGE thank you to Creative Treasures Preschool! We recently brought home another 100 books donated by the amazing families that attend Creative Treasures and Journeys Church. Thank you so very much!

Beautiful morning!

What a beautiful morning it was to hand out books to these little cuties and so many more! The gorgeous weather brought out an abundance of families. We were able to give away 183 books! Thank you to everyone who helps to make this possible!

Never too young to make a difference!

Before Christmas we got the chance to meet with the sweetest girl by the name of Kaylee. A friend of ours told us about her and how she wanted to meet us. This eight year old is such an inspiration! As we sat and told her about the program she started rattling off ideas of what she could do. Since that time Kaylee has been quite busy. She has already collected a ton of books (pictured below) and has set up times to hand books out to needy kids!

1 Timothy 4:12 NLT
Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and purity.

A Milestone!

When asked to write a goal for my program, I said that my goal was to hand out 10,000 books by the end of 2016. I really didn't think that goal was likely. We counted the books last week and.... 😃

Another Beautiful Saturday

There is no better way to spend a beautiful Saturday!

Little Free Libraries

One of the less obvious parts of our mission is filling various little free libraries around town with children's books. We dropped off close to 200 books yesterday around town. We try to fill the boxes in parts of town where the kids are less likely to have access to books. We currently fill  5 libraries on a regular basis and are adding 2 more this week.
