GIFT FundingOne day our class was searching on Little Free Library's website when we saw a GIFT funding section. Our class was in need for a LFL so we emailed them. We got our packet with an application. A few months or weeks later, LFL responded saying that we won a LFL!!! The LFL was customized by special people. We got to learn who makes the Little Free Library's! Finally they shipped the Little Free Library to us! Then we got Little Free Library and we were very excited we post it on Instagram. GIFT funding is the real reason why John Rudy has a LFL in the park. Otherwise, we would not have a Community LFL.

Deciding On Location
We had to decide on a location. First we brainstormed locations for our Little Free Library. We put parks, schools, busy roads, stores, and neighborhoods. We voted for parks. First we did some researching. Then we had to call the parks we brainstormed. After that we had to vote on what park we wanted. Our research helped us to decide. We looked if the parks we were considering we're scenic, clean, and peaceful. We also sent out a Google Form survey to kids at Central York elementary schools. The park that had the most votes was John Rudy Park. So that's we're we are going to put our community Little Free Library. We then voted. That’s how we got John Rudy Park. Next we started to contact the park and communicate with John Rudy Park.
Sharing With Others
When our class had the whole LFL idea, we shared it to social media. We also had some people share on the announcements at school. We then sent a letter home to parents for North Hills Families. We even wrote letters for people to come to John Rudy's LFL.
We have a website that you are reading right now this second. We told the principal about our book drive and our Little Free Library. We went to classrooms to share more were our party is going to be and what we planned and how we started the Little Free Library and how we planned it. Some people went to the Central York School Board Meeting. The people who went were Ellaina, Myla, and Zak. We shared it all on Instagram and Twitter to share about our moments. We talked to kids about our progress and about our Little Free Library.
We went to the Central York Middle School to make videos for why reading is awesome and like the Central York Bookmobile and other stuff. We put posters all around the school. We went on the announcements to share about our party and about our Little Free Library.
For another part of our project, we Skyped with SoulPancake, the company that makes Kid President videos, to learn how to make videos about reading. We also Skyped with different classrooms in the Central district to tell more about our project and we are hoping to Skype with Todd Bol, the creator of the Little Free Library.

Grand Opening Celebration Party
To celebrate the Grand Opening of the LFL, we are having a party at John Rudy Park on May 30th. We are celebrating our LFL. We got for free. There will be food/drinks and we are inviting people to come. Mrs. Hartman sent a paper to our parents. We wrote a letter to anyone we wanted and then we sent the letter to the people that we wrote to. Mrs. Hartman said that the celebration will be near the parking lot under a pavilion. Also anyone can come to celebrate with us. You can play at the playground and when you're tired you can read a book. So that's what we are doing for the party.
