Another successful bookbombing adventure! We stopped off at the Elm Street Little Free Library this afternoon to donate a box full of books from my classroom library. We hope the Elm Street kiddos enjoy them as much as my students have! Alex was also excited to borrow this copy of โGerms, Germs, Germsโ - our little bookworm/future doctor read the whole book before we made it back home!

Yesterday, I walked past two kids standing in front of a Little Free Library.
โHmmm, letโs see,โ said the older one. โThis one is good. And so is this one.โ
He handed the younger kid two books.
โYeah,โ said the younger one. โBut I canโt read them.โ
โDuh, I know,โ said the older one. โThatโs why Iโm going to read them to you.โ
Oh, my heart--it lifted up in my chest when I heard this exchange.
Suddenly, everything seemed brighter, more possible.

"That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet."
-- Jhumpa Lahiri
Twice a month in Kenya, three camels set out to deliver library books. One camel carries boxes of books. Another carries the tent and supplies. The third camel is used as a spare.
