This weekend marked the January run of the BOOK BUS. We layered our clothes, cranked up the heaters and pulled into High Ridge with crates filled with books and thermoses of hot chocolate. Even though the air was cool, the sun was shining and attendance was good. At two of our stops we actually had customers waiting on us (are they customers if the books are free?). Picking out your 5 books is serious business. Often times, there is consultation with a friend or at least the person leaning over the crate next to you. It’s fun to get down there with the kids who may feel a little shy and draw them out with a good Junie B. or Amelia Bedelia book. Before you know it they are requesting books and Carey and I are realizing we have got to get that closet organized. The books are plentiful but the workers few. J I have to say the biggest thrill I get is the kids that say, as they walk away with their books in hand, “See you next month.”
