So you may have noticed a bit of a lull here at LoveBooks. Between the fall flurry of back-to-school busy-ness and a focus on taking in books from generous neighbors and friends, we have accumulated thousands of books, but have struggled somewhat to find homes for those books.

As usual though, when doing something for the greater good, there is always a plan.

Enter Kerry Frazier: a man with a true servant’s heart. After being put in contact with this richly visionary, inexaustible and altruistic individual, we learned that Kerry is currently in the process of collecting 10,000 books to build libraries in all of the public housing in Nashville. And just like that… all those books we had been accumulating had a worthy and exciting destination! As a matter of fact, Kerry’s goal of creating libraries that will grant kids in public housing easy and free access to books is the very root of the idea upon which LoveBooks was created! We are truly ecstatic to be able to be a small part of Kerry’s (and God’s) plan.

So, on Wednesday (10/21/15), a group of LoveBooks volunteers worked with Kerry to load up 90% of the books (some books were reserved to benefit the homeless children we serve weekly), and transferred to a community resource called From the Heart, near McFerrin Park in East Nashville.

We are beyond thrilled to have created this partnership with Kerry Frazier and look forward to continued book collection to help him and others open doors for disadvantaged children through books and book ownership.
