24 Locally Owned Business Owners are proud to be a Children's Book Share Location - We did it!

We did it! With the help of our entire community! From our parents with children who gave us the confidence to pull this project off to our amazing business owners who sponsored our project and of course the business owners who excitedly agreed to be a Children's Book Share Location! Together we did it! The buzz is spreading. Just this past week, we received 13 thank messages from happy families with kids who are enjoying the free books. Plus we received amazing offers from UGI and Quadrant to collect book donations on site from employees to donate to our boxes to keep the book inventory flowing. HOW AMAZING IS OUR COMMUNITY!? Seriously. We ROCK!

Teamwork seriously makes the DREAM WORK!
