Do you wonder why you haven't received your book this month?

Dolly has a system where they ship in lots according to age, location, sign-up date and possibly other parameters. I'm not sure how it works as it's very complicated to ship thousands and thousands of books every month. Also our local post office has had delivery issues. The books are shrink wrapped in bundles of 20. They were supposed to separate the bundle and send each book. They were delivering the entire bundle to the name on the outside label. So we're at that person's mercy to return the other 19 that don't belong to them. The post office has been notified so hopefully that won't happen again. Give it time as the kinks get worked out. The books will be delivered all through the ENTIRE month. Let me know at the end of the month if you don't get yours.

Please do not contact the library as they just relay the message to me. Contact me either here or email. [email protected]
Thanks!! Sheila

We're celebrating ! Did you know children begin to associate words with meaning by looking at pictures? There’s nothing like the turn of a page in a beautifully crafted picture book. (📸: Treasa M.)
