5th grade Sonoma Country DaySchool teacher Ben Bacon has been a good friend to the Free Bookmobile. Last year he hosted a neighborhood book drive for us at his home, and this March he helped his class combine their love for reading with their love for service. Every book read by his students would later be donated to us, up until May when we could come to the school and collect. Well it turns out they’ve been a bit more busy than that!
Upon arrival this past Monday, we discovered Ben had rallied the entire school along the way in support of the Free Bookmobile cause. In a little ceremony, they just plain took our breath away by presenting us with a check for almost $2,500 worth of book-buying power! We’ve never been so excited to break open the Scholastic catalog.
This amazing gift comes at a perfect time, when we are running very low on dictionaries, bilingual material, early readers, and young adult books. Our shopping spree will benefit soooo many children across the county…all we can say is “WOW! Thank you, SCDS!”
 Filling the Free Bookmobile with great stories they have known...
