I'm not sure if everyone has heard, but First Book-University of Southern Miss has adopted what will be the library in the Lighthouse Mission Shelter.
Today was our first opportunity to work and we had a good bit of fun. We started prepping the gaping whole in the floor so that we can lay down the subflooring. We learned lots of technical jargon and were excited to use a few powertools ... yes we used powertools.
Eventually our goal is to help get it ready (floors, painting, cleaning, shelves, etc...) while simultaneously collecting used books. Books will be for all ages, but hopefully have a surplus of children's books. While this isn't the sole purpose of our organization, we [the board] did feel that it was a great cause that we didn't mind tackling. Please keep October 27th in your heads, because that will be the big day we hope to get a TON of stuff finished!
More calendared events will be posted after Friday so check back to see those!
