Bookmobile News

The younger kids and their families are getting into the community service act, too! Hot on the heels of our big haul from Healdsburg, led by their high school Interact Club, we were blessed with bountiful donations from students at both Brush Creek Nursery School and Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School (SRACS). We had a marvelous time picking up the books at Brush Creek, as the kids came on board to find out about what we do, and to learn that it’s fun to give as well as receive. The photo above shows some of the boys checking out the donations before they hit our shelves.  A big thank you to Cynara and all the families that participated.

SRACS is an old friend to the Free Bookmobile, having held one of our first children’s book drives two years ago, and our only bake sale benefit to date! Now they have a new crop of 5th and 6th graders and these students were eager to demonstrate commitment to local literacy by clearing out their homes of books they had outgrown. We salute the effort of teacher Leslie Loopstra and other staff members to integrate real world action into these kids’ curriculum. Go, SRACS!
