"Pocomoke Street Kids" Donate Lemonade Money For Haiti

Catherine, Meghan, Gwen and Simon
(Ryan not pictured)

On Saturday, July 9, four smiling faces walked into the Westover Branch Library, and handed the librarian on duty an envelope full of money, and a letter.

Were they there to pay a fine? No!

They had spent all day manning a lemonade stand in a nearby park, earning an impressive $23.25. When they remembered that the Library will donate 50 cents to help rebuild Haiti’s Petit-Goave Library for each child who turns in a completed summer reading log, the kids realized their lemonade money could help us do even more to help Petit Goave.

We are so grateful for their help, and their thoughtfulness!
