It has been a fantastic first year for us, and we’re not even close to the twelve-month mark. After finishing some routine tabulation, we realized that we have given away more than 10,000 books to 3,000 individuals throughout Sonoma County. And we did it in less than nine months on the job. Not bad for a weekend operation!
In fact, we gave away our 10,000th book in Bodega Bay at the Fisherman’s Festival last month. Lots of families out there groovin’ to the music and picking out fun stuff to read. Since then we have hosted 7 more events, for a grand total of 61, and brought our book tally to over 11,500. Who knows where we will stand on July 26th, our official anniversary.
There are so many kind people who made this happen, and we hold that gratitude for them on a daily basis. In particular we want to thank our family and friends who have invested blood, sweat, and tears of joy to the project, the loyal groups and organizations which put resources behind our effort, and all the people who have parted ways with their books so that others could enjoy them too. You have all supplied vital ingredients to the magic of the Sonoma County Free Bookmobile!
May we drive onward for a very long time indeed…
