Rolling Library at POC for the FIND Program
Karyn Baldwin, a Hoffman Estates Girl Scout, donated a rolling library to the FIND PI program at POC to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award. She spent over 80 hours designing and putting together this mobile library with books in English and Spanish and books on CD. Families at POC will be able to check out books and cds from the cart she built. Kudos to Karyn for a job well done!
