On Saturday April 11, the Library Project kicked off National Library Week with our SPRING Into Action! book fair at Chester County Book and Music Company. Throughout the day, friends of the Library came in to get a head start on their summer reading for a good cause – 15 percent of the sales from a specially marked register went directly to the Library Project. I got to spend the day catching up with long-time supporters and introducing new people to the Library Project’s work. Leah Johnson, pictured here with me, is a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church, where the Library Project got its start, and she’s been a supporter from the start.
Take a second look at that photo, and you’ll notice I’m wearing a La Entrada Library Project shirt. The logo on the tee is a copy of the logo on the wall of the library in La Entrada. Please send me an email if you’d like to purchase a La Entrada t-shirt to show your support. They are made one at a time and the color and text can be changed to suit your personality.
Chester County Book and Music Company has been a great help to us over the years, from our first event, a book fair and signing with illustrator Mike Berenstain in 2006, to the donation of items for our 2007 Holiday Bazaar, to a series of collections benefiting the foundation. I encourage you to stop by CCBMC the next time you’re looking for a good read, and support a local, independent, socially-conscious bookstore and their wonderful staff, like Thea Kotroba, pictured, who has been a great help in organizing Library Project events. I have nothing but good things to say about CCBMC and everyone who works there, and I thank them for another successful Library Project fundraiser.
