Could You Help?

You know the mail carriers have their creed. Here is the Book Bus creed: Neither tropical storms, road construction or mud will keep the Book Bus from sharing books with eager readers! At least that was the case on Saturday.  We were a bit worried at the beginning of the week but by Thursday we knew it was a go. Not only did we do our six stops in High Ridge but we also added a Melrose stop at the apartments behind Melrose Elementary off SR 26. We were thrilled with the response of the residents and plan to make it a regular stop.

I am not able to find the words to describe to you the emotion that fills me when we pull up to our Book Stop and there are cars and people everywhere waiting on us! There are always words of appreciation, sometimes there are requests for certain authors or types of reading material. I feel safe in saying that Carey and I both believe that our Book Bus is “God driven” . I am amazed at all He has blessed us with over the past year and I don’t just mean books. The people we have met and the things we have learned are priceless.

There are a few things that we are in need of. The Bible says, “ Ask and you shall receive” so we’re asking. We have noticed that preschool and board books are very popular. We are always running low on these. We have recently been offering cookbooks which have been a big hit, but our supply is running low. We also had a specific request for Monster Truck books. I didn’t want to leave that out. If you have anything you would like to donate please contact Carey or Teri. Thank you for caring about and sharing  how God is using us in our community.

They came inspite of road blocks and construction!

Time out to read :)
