The Greater Victoria Placemaking Network is marking the event with a picnic at Rutledge Park
The Greater Victoria Placemaking Network is celebrating 10 years and the 100,000th little free library book with a picnic at Rutledge Park on July 20.
“If you would have told me then that I’d be delivering our 100,000th book to a little free library six years later, I would not have believed you,” Phelps Bondaroff said The theme of this year’s program was community resilience, with applications focused on diverse, connected, safe, nourished and active communities.
They hope to be able to provide 2,000 hygiene and oral care kits for children and teens for the upcoming school year. They will also be raising funds through a 50-50 raffle. The society offers training and ongoing support, with groups meeting monthly to equip volunteers with the necessary knowledge and resources.• For more information on the volunteer opportunities available, go to alzbc.org/volunteer.
