January's Project- Sorting Books for the VLC Childrens Free Library

A special thank you to the VLC Volunteers who signed up and helped with the January
Project, sorting 8,000 books that were donated to the VLC Children's Free Library from
a school that closed.  Volunteers worked to sort the books for children from kinder-
garten to 5th grade for our library and re-boxed all of the books for older children,
along with reference books.  New homes were found for them at several Waukesha
Schools along with Lad Lake.  Your help was greatly appreciated and our present
stockpile should easily carry us well into spring! 

Volunteers Of Lake Country established this library 1.5 years ago. Studies have shown
that there is a direct correlation between the number of books in a child's home to
their success in school, and with your commitment we have continued to maintain
this library at the Hope Center. Thanks to your support, to the book drives you have 
held in your schools, churches and subdivisions, your personal book donations from
home and to your shopping at rummage sales in the summer and collecting your
neighbors leftovers after their rummage sales,  we estimate VLC has given over 1,000
books away to children every month....20,000 books in total!
