As many of us did at the outset of the pandemic, Barbara Cerda would go on family walks. Her and her three daughters enjoyed the opportunity to get outside and explore their neighborhood—one that included a handful of Little Free Libraries, most of which, however, needed books. Being the good stewards that they are, the Cerda family gathered up old books and made it their mission to keep these libraries filled. What started out as addressing a simple need has grown into the Barby the Book Fairy brand, centered around filling the demand for books in her community. With such an outpouring of support, Barbara has been able to donate countless books, enjoyed by countless individuals living in Milwaukee's south side, and is inspiring others to pay it forward as well. Given the success of her efforts so far, Barbara is even looking into how can she can build up the Barby the Book Fairy brand, expanding to new and exciting book-related offerings. To learn more about how you can support Barby the Book Fairy (donating books, volunteering at book drop-off events, etc.), visit their website, Facebook page, or send Barbara an email at barbythebookfairy@gmail.com! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/journeymenpdcst/support
