For those of you who like numbers, you are going to love the new Mary’s Books book totals.  As of today, we have collected 2,401 books just since February 2012.  And, we have collected 9,695 books TOTAL since Mary’s Books began in 2010.  These numbers are amazing to our family who thought that maybe we would collect 100 books.  Never did we dream that we would be donating books by the thousands and expanding Mary’s Books beyond the PICU at The Children’s Hospital.  We are so thankful and excited to share all of these wonderful books with children and families in our community.  Just the other day I called the Ronald McDonald House and asked them if they were ready for more books and the volunteer said “Yes Please!”  We dropped off 1,000 books at the same Ronald McDonald House in December and they are low already so we will happily replenish their book shelves.  Saying that, there will always be a need for books so we will continue to collect them and distribute them as these 2 facilities need them.  Thank you, again, for helping our family keep our sweet Mary alive through Mary’s Books.
