Service projects may be a bit more difficult but certainly not impossible during a pandemic – and Kiwanis proved it yet again! It just happens to be National Reading Month, so on March 4 and 5, very small groups of 4-5 volunteers spread way out at the Karen McLaughlin Hall at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to pack books, books, and more books for the African Library Project.
Kiwanis: African Library Effort Continues Despite Pandemic
KIWANIS News:
The Kiwanis Club of Los Alamos has proven once again that while service projects may be a bit more difficult during a pandemic – they are certainly not impossible. March just happens to be National Reading Month, so very small groups of 4-5 volunteers spread way out at the Sarah McLaughlin Hall at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church on Canyon Road to pack books, books and more books March 4-5 for the African Library Project.
Book donations have been steady and high all throughout the pandemic as people are staying home and cleaning out! Barranca Mesa School librarian, Erin Manzanares, generously donated hundreds of books that wouldn’t fit into the new school library, which has less shelf space than the old library.
