St. Louis County Library will provide free books to families attending drive-thru meal service starting Monday, May 11 at 10:00 a.m. Each family will receive a bag containing three new books–one for pre-K readers, one for elementary aged readers, and one for teen readers. The books are intended for families to keep, they do not need to be returned to the library. Supplies are limited.
St. Louis County Library Director Kristen Sorth said, “We are thrilled to provide new books to families during this challenging time. We are thankful to our partners for working with us to find creative ways to encourage kids to keep reading. Also, the books are just in time for Summer Reading Club.”
The books were donated by a number of local agencies, including the St. Louis County Library Foundation, The Opportunity Trust, Gateway Regional YMCA, Literacy Initiative, Missouri Humanities and Ready Readers.
The books will be distributed during SLCL’s drive-thru meals program at the following branches from 10:00-12:00 p.m., each Monday and Wednesday, while supplies last:
