We are partnering with Meadowbrook Aquatic Center

We are partnering with Meadowbrook Aquatic Center during the month of November to collect new and used books for Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary School in Pigtown.

We are excited to be putting many more books in their library. These are great students who love stories and are wonderful listeners during storytime.

If you have books you’d like to donate, please take them to Meadowbrook in Mt. Washington or drop them by the Peace Study Center at 5828 York Road.
