The 2nd Saturday of the month may mean yard sales to some, but in High Ridge it means the Book Bus is coming. Fortunately the rained cleared well before the first stop at 10:30am. The sun was shining but there was a chill in the air. The Book Bus pulled up to find people anxiously waiting to peruse the tubs filled with a large selection of children and adult literature. Hot chocolate was eagerly accepted with marshmallows, of course.
Each stop brought appreciative folks thrilled for the opportunity to build their home library. One young man was excited to find just the right book to help him with a literature project due next week. Families came looking for specific authors, others asked for help finding appropriate books for their beginning reader.
Today we calculated about 50 people came to pick out books. Since everyone is allowed 5 books that means we gave away close to 250 books. Luckily there are still plenty more books thanks to all the generous donations.
It just amazes me how much fun can be had riding around giving away used books. Let us know if you’d like to ride along.
