Township Stories & Realities - Sorting books

 


Tomorrow, we sort the last of the donated books and set up the reading corner properly—and there's still room on the team.

We start at 9am and expect to be done by early afternoon: sorting books by age group, fixing torn pages with tape, and getting the shelves Bab' Elias helped source into place.

 No experience needed, just a couple of hours. 

Bring a friend, bring a teenager who could use a Saturday away from a screen, bring yourself.

Message us tonight to lock in your spot for tomorrow.

Township Stories & Realities - Bab' Elias

 


Bab' Elias doesn't read much himself these days—his eyes aren't what they were. 

What he does is ride.

At 68, he spends two mornings a week on an old bicycle, collecting donated books from houses across three streets and bringing them to the reading corner.

 He knows most of the families by name after thirty years in the area, and a fair number of the book donations happen because he's the one who knocks and asks. 

He says it's an easy way to be useful without needing young knees for it.

If you've got children's books gathering dust, message us—we'll arrange collection, Bab' Elias willing.
