Hosting a Choose Kind Library in Africa is the Kindness Action Ninja way ...

Event at Audelia Creek Elementary.

We had our ribbon cutting at their open house- book fair. It was so successful. The librarian Taressa Anderson had a Spanish interpreter there along with the assistant principa. At the book fair parents could buy scholastic books and after check out they were allowed to get a free book They also had students sign up for a raffle. There was a librarian there from city library to sign students for public library cards so they can check out books over the summer. We passed out school supplies bags. After the event the students were given frozen treats. As you can see very well attended & they were super excited about the new library.
