Our Project

Meadow’s Project B.A.L.D.W.I.N. (Books Available for Lending and Distributing Within Our Ideal Networks) built Little Free Libraries to help spread pre-k-5th grade literacy throughout the community. The team collaborated with community groups and partners throughout the district to help them accomplish their goal. They worked with the woodshop HS students under the guidance of their teacher to build the libraries. They were built with sustainability in mind. The team painted the libraries and collected and sorted books. They presented information to the PTA to ensure the libraries would be taken care of. Through this project, the team plans to make books available for students to own and help them make growth in reading. In addition, they are also working with literacy coordinators at Meadow to receive books in various languages to reach the needs of all readers. They have accompanied the project with a website that allows students to listen to their favorite teachers read.
