Little Free Libraries waiting for homes in low income areas!
Thanks to AdventHealth University volunteers, this cabinet is primed and ready to to be decorated and used as a Little Free Library!
Thank you to the Spirit Keepers men's group from First Congregational Chuch of Winter Park for assembling, painting, finishing and installing Little Free Libraries!
Our second Little Free Library installed at the Boys and Girls Club in Pine Hills.
Our first Little Free Library installed at Nick's Family Diner by the Spirit Keepers from First Congregational Church of Winter Park.
We brought books for all of the students at Welbourne Nursery and Preschool, and also to the Head Start program at Evans Community School (not pictured).
We provided 654 books to Rock Lake Elementary, a Title 1 school, for a take home bookshelf! The same was given to Advent Health hospital for their child patients and visitors (not pictured).
Three more cartons of books delivered to Healthy Start to take to new moms through their home visitor program.
Fifteen volunteers from AdventHealth University helped with a workday where books were hauled, sorted, stamped and stickered. They built bookshelves and anchored them to the wall.
Volunteers anchored the bookshelves so that children would be safe from toppling shelves.
Our volunteers from AdventHealth University built seven bookshelves!
