🚐📚 Thursday, May 7th, the Jackson Hinds Library System Bookmobile rolled into the Springboard to Opportunities Block Party at The Christian Brotherhood Apartments—and it was pure magic! ✨📚

We gave away free books, shared valuable community resources, and signed up more than 35 individuals for library cards. But the best part? Every child got to choose books of their very own to keep forever—just in time for exciting summer reading adventures ☀️📖
