A one-woman operation has distributed more than 1,400 donated children’s books at local playgrounds.
Julie Letkeman started the Book Buggy last June and has since distributed more than 1,400 free books at playgrounds in communities outside Saint John.
The project was inspired by a book bus that made its rounds where Letkeman used to live in British Columbia. She says it was a valuable service and thought a similar program would do well in New Brunswick."There are so many books out there. … Books can tell stories, teach you things, and they can help kids deal with their traumas. They are like magic."This summer, Letkeman aims to visit two communities outside Saint John each week.
