Thanks toour friends at Homecare Solutions, we now have cleaned the old Berks RealEstate Weekly Boxes and are ready to design and print our own stickers so thatwe can get these boxes set up around town!
In themeantime, there are boxes set up at these places:
So Good Soups – Shillington FarmersMarket
Skin Sanctuary Spa – West Lawn
Thanx Hair Salon – Exeter
Weaver’s Orchard – Mohnton
So Good Soups – Fairgrounds FarmersMarket
Hay Creek Snack Shack – Birdsboro
Auntie Anne’s – Elverson (insideWalmart)
The good news is that we have had over 600 books already donated and in circulation (and we haven’t even put our awesome re-purposed BREW boxes out in the community yet!)
The bad newsis that we need about 200-300 more books in inventory in the next week or so tofill the Brew boxes before placing them out in the community. EMPLOYERS – if your company is willing tosend a memo around asking for a used children’s books to be donated in thelobby for Teachers in the Parks Book Share, we would greatly appreciateit! You can call Heather Brady when youhave a box ready to pick up at 484-336-3299 or send her an email: heather@doitlocalfundraising.com.

A SUPER Special Thanks to…
Homecare Solution for cleaning our BREW boxes! Give Branden a call (484-509-7197) if you need any power washing or indoor cleaning. He cleaned our boxes at no charge, and we cannot THANK HIM ENOUGH!!!
1-800 Got Junk local owner Nathan is helping us when the time comes to set up our boxes around town again at no charge in his free time! This is amazing since the boxes are heavy and way too big to throw in the back our car. If you are looking to clear out some junk in preparation for Back to School – give 1800 Got Junk a call and tell them that Nathan in Berks County PA is the best!
