Hope to see you there!

Yes, summer is still months away.  But, we’re busy prepping and planning over here and things are getting pretty exciting.  The bike frame is almost finished, we have our very own storage space, and this shiny new website! Please make sure to like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter so you don’t miss out on the latest developments.

I will write a more in-depth post soon, but I wanted to thank all of you who have supported this program from the start.  Last summer we gave out about 1,000 books and made lots of little friends.

Please consider supporting our Generosity campaign to ensure that next summer will be even more amazing.
