Girl Scout Audrey builds little free library for Stone School Cooperative Preschool as Silver Award project
Summary
A Girl Scout named Audrey completed a Silver Award project to build an outdoor 'take a book, leave a book' library for Stone School Cooperative Preschool; a school staff member praised her community service and hope that the library will strengthen home–school reading.
A local Girl Scout, identified on-air as Audrey, built a small outdoor library for Stone School Cooperative Preschool as part of her Silver Award community-service project.
"For Stone School, I built a little library, which is like a take a book, leave a book library," Audrey said, explaining that the Silver Award requires 50 hours of service. A Stone School staff member praised her, saying Audrey has been "very friendly, kind, and interested in learning new things" and noting the project helps build a relationship between home and school.
The segment framed the library as a modest, sustainable addition meant to encourage daily reading: Audrey said she hoped "the kids will really enjoy it" and that parents and children would use and contribute books. The on-air coverage focused on the volunteer and educational aspects rather than operational details such as book-collection schedules or long-term maintenance plans, which were not specified in the segment.
For readers interested in similar community projects, local schools and troop leaders can provide guidance on Silver Award requirements and on-site needs for small outdoor lending libraries.
