The Community Book Stop, Part 1
For the past month the foyer in my daughter's preschool has looked like this:
It's the planned location of the Community Book Stop project I mentioned earlier! We had a book drive asking for parents to purchase or donate the books on our booklist. We crowdsourced it from parents, teachers, and online booklists from libraries and educational journals. Every time a books was donated, we checked it off from the list. It was super fun to see more and more checkmarks everyday!
Do you want to see our booklist? Here it is! Of course, this is just the start of our small library--we hope it will grow and grow in the years to come. So, if you have any suggestions of books to add or see books that we missed, please let me know (fyi, the school is a preschool so the books should skew very young).
And stay tuned to see photos of the finished project!
