The Little Red Hen, The Three Bears, and The Very Busy Spider have been knocking on doors for 20 years at area family daycare homes, childcare centers and schools. It’s Book Express calling!!!!
Bennington Free Library’s Youth Services Librarians, Carrie Gutbier and Linda Donigan (pictured above left to right) are at the door delivering theme boxes of books and learning materials to children and their teachers & caregivers. Linda & Carrie travel all over Bennington, North Bennington, Pownal and Shaftsbury each month to bring quality literature right to the doorstep of our early education sites. They pick up the books one month later and deliver new theme boxes to each site.
For many years, BFL Book Express volunteers did the job but since COVID-19, Carrie & Linda have carried on this mission! In the last 10 months, the librarians made 120 deliveries & circulated approximately 2,400 books and materials!
For more information about the Book Express program, contact Youth Services Librarians, Carrie & Linda by emailing children@bfli.org or calling Bennington Free Library (802) 442-9051.
