Wandering Book Project
All this month, six different picture books will be wandering around Clinton and Kirkland. If you find one on your doorstep, you’ve been booked! Bring it inside, read it by yourself or with your family, and record your name and street on the card. Then, you can “book” someone else! Pass the bag and book to a friend or neighbor you think might enjoy reading it. On June 20, we’ll collect the books back at the Library to see how many people read them. Help us spread these stories about sharing, community, kindness, and empathy.
