Sunshine Library Brings Books and Bears to Kids

Three retired friends turned reading heroes are bringing joy to kids at Washington Park Head Start with their mobile “Sunshine Library.” Every Wednesday, Meredith, Susan, and Janine arrive with a cart of donated books, letting children pick their favorites to keep for the week. With songs, dances, and a comforting teddy bear named Buddy, they turn book visits into magical experiences. Even after school ends, they surprise kids with books and their own Buddy Bear to carry reading fun through summer. Fueled by community love and over a thousand donated books, this simple idea is sparking lifelong love of reading—one child, one book, one bear at a time.
