the year. The CSLP’s ad hoc Child and Community Well-Being committee is developing resources to support and encourage library participation in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program and other initiatives to help kids and teens stay nourished, active, and healthy
when school is out. These resources include the <a href="https://www.cslpreads.org/libraries-and-summer-food/">
<span style="color:#007C89">Libraries and Summer Food</span></a> page on the CSLP website; a
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2383790818612681/"><span style="color:#007C89">new Facebook group</span></a> for news, support, and resource-sharing; and a series of stories showcasing the experiences of libraries around the country.

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">In 2014 Middlebury hit the 50% free and reduced lunch eligibility benchmark needed to qualify for free summer meals. The library started serving lunches twice a week after storytimes, but very few
people chose to stay for lunch. We signed up to be a free lunch site because we wanted all children to have access to healthy foods, but we were not the right location for that to happen.<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

100%">
<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">Middlebury’s Parks and Recreation Department also became a free lunch site in 2014. Parks and Red drew a large crowd each day but found that families and kids tended to eat and run. There appeared
to be a stigma attached to the lunches, despite efforts to attract a wide range of socioeconomic groups, and people had no desire to linger and be “caught” eating a free lunch. The program felt less like a part of the community and more like a shameful secret.<br>

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">I suggested to Parks and Rec that the library provide a storytime during the lunch program twice a week. I purchased a bike from our local bike swap event ($60), loaded up the library’s brand new
bike trailer ($75) with books, threw on a superhero costume, and pedaled from the library over to Parks and Rec. The Book Bike program was born.<br>

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">The actual program looks something like this: I roll up on my bike just as lunch service is starting. I set up a display of free books the children can take home, conduct readers advisory, and entertain
children as everyone makes their way through the food line. Once everyone has their food, I move to the picnic area and start storytime. I read 4-5 books based on a theme linked to a costume I’m wearing. We rarely sing or dance (hard to do while eating), so
I make sure to select books that allow me to pull out my acting skills: silly voices, big body language, audience asides.<br>

100%">
<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">Books for the program were either donated from home bookshelves, items that had been withdrawn from our collection, or purchased with a grant from a local non-profit. Kids could select one book
to take with them each visit. Children do not need a library card. If they love the book they pick, they are encouraged to keep it. If not, they can bring it back to the library for someone else to read. About 90% of books from the book bike stayed out in
the community. The library Friend’s group funds the supplies to make costumes for my storytimes. The costumes aren’t professional quality but the anticipation of “What is Ms. Tricia going to be wearing THIS time?” drew a lot of kids back week after week and
is one of our most successful marketing campaigns.<br>

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">2019 was my fifth year biking from the library to Parks and Rec to offer a once a week storytime to families at the free lunch program. People stay longer on storytime days to visit and to listen
to stories. This summer Book Bike Storytime had the highest attendance of any of my recurring programs, in-house or outreach, and was populated by an older-elementary crowd that I rarely get in my in-house library programs. The crowd is a roughly 50/50 split
between regular library users who come for the storytime but stay for the lunch, and non-library users who come for the lunch stay for the storytime and free books. The program is a win-win, allowing the library to serve a population we do not otherwise connect
with and support a community building in Middlebury.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Accessibility to literacy is extremely important. We all know that. But did you know you can make books accessible in inexpensive ways? The Build a Better Book project, based out of the University of Colorado Boulder, has taught librarians across the country
different ways to make books accessible. By using both low- and high-tech Makerspace tools, librarians and their teen patrons work together to create tactile books that benefit children with visual impairments. The Build a Better Book project doesn’t just
focuses on book accessibility. Teens have created accessible games that can be played by those with vision and without vision. To learn more about the Build a Better Book project and how you can use it in your library, visit
