You did it!!
Thanks to our amazing Summer Library Game players, we helped deliver over 3,500 pounds of dog food to the Chesterfield Animal Services

We teamed up with Gleaning For The World and Rachael Loving to deliver all that kibble—enough for roughly 6,000 meals for the sheltered animals! 🐾

By completing Level 1 of the Summer Library Game, over 3,000 of you helped us reach our goal and unlock this donation, valued at $7,000. 🐶

Thanks to everyone who logged their reading and activities this summer to make this possible. ❤️ 🤍 💙
