Junior League of Bristol uses Little Free Libraries to aid new Literacy Campaign

June 30, 2018


Thanks to participation in an innovative program promoting literacy, the Junior League of Bristol has joined with the Bristol, Tennessee, city schools and members of a local Boy Scout to get more books in the hands of potential readers.


Known as the Little Free Library project, the program promotes a love of books and reading by getting written works into the hands of as many readers as possible.

Focus on Community



Volunteerism

The Junior League of Bristol, in conjunction with the Bristol, VA Parks & Recreation Department has approved our community project for the 2018-2019 League Year - a sensory board at Sugar Hollow Park in Bristol, VA. In previous years, playground equipment has been donated by the Junior League of Bristol at Sugar Hollow Park, and the addition of a sensory board and panels not only provides safe and stimulating play for children with special needs, but appeals to children of all ages.







​





We are excited to begin working on construction of this project with our anticipated completion date scheduled for Spring/Summer 2019.

You can also mail donations to Junior League of Bristol TN/VA, Inc. P.O. Box 1448, Bristol, VA 24203.

We're all involved in service everyday. Most of us are driven to serve; an almost longing to help others. This is a service heart. Bring along your heart for service as a member of JLB.
