What is the Richmond Kiwanis Little Free Library Project?
The primary focus of this ongoing Kiwanis Club project is to bring literacy opportunities to children by providing books with diverse characters, rich language, and stories that reflect the population of the communities we serve. We use the nationally known Little Free Libraries as our stepping stone to prepare for the long-term stewardship of literacy in the community that is underserved and with few financial, travel, and library resources available. Our Club sustains this project through annual fundraising, book collections, volunteering by Club members, and engaging the community. The Carver and Jackson Ward communities have embraced these libraries with such enthusiasm! Let’s get books into the hands of our city’s most vulnerable kids!
