I doubt I ever would have been able to get them without you. \r\nThe snacks and wipes and everything else was a cherry on top. \r\nThe library doesn't get much funding for anything considered not instructional, so you helped make the school year memorable. You encouraged kids to want to come in. \r\nIt actually means a whole lot. It's not just free stuff you know. It's creating positive memories and associations with reading. With the library.
