Starting November 2, we will be collecting used, in good condition, books for children of all ages for The Free Book Buggie. The group travels to under-resourced communities in the Twin Cities area and provides books to children for free.

Drop off books at Bluewater Aquatic Center. All books will be donated after Thanksgiving!
