• Little Free Library Number 8

A good sized group was on hand for the dedication of Wildomar's 8th Little Free Library.
The crowd was comprised of students and staff from Donald Graham along with family, friends and community members.
Many thanks go out to the Rupp family, Donald Graham Elementary and LEUSD for the installation of Wildomar's newest Little Free Library.

Principal Konecni asked me to say a few words, but with the unexpected caveat of not mentioning what was about to be revealed from under the red tablecloth. That was an adventure. ☺

The new Free Little Library was able to be installed through a program called The Impact Library Program, which is part of the Little Free Library organization.

The artwork was done by the school librarian, Karen Fazekas. Principal Laura Konecni looks on.

Mark Dennis, from LEUSD, who also was in attendance to take photos, spoke for a moment and mentioned the Lake Elsinore Valley Education Foundation, which was founded after the passing of Dr. Sharron Lindsay in 2007, had provided the first books for the new Little Free Library.

You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.
— Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

Wildomar Rap is almost too old, but still wacky enough to read to children, and often can be heard employing silly voices.
