In August the Volunteers of Lake Country launched the Children's Free Library hosted by the Hope Center of Waukesha. Studies have shown a correlation between children having books in their homes and their success in school. VLC's goal was to get books into the hands of children whose families cannot afford them. Hundreds upon hundreds of individuals (sorting their own and donating) and groups (churches, schools, and businesses doing book drives) stepped forward to donate thousands upon thousands of books! 1,000 books are being given to children each month at the Hope Center. With the present inventory, and the upcoming drives that are already in place, we are set until spring! Thank you for the amazing response!
