the project
Much love - The Book Lady :)
Every year since 2013 Street Library produces a children's book parade. Children from some of the most at risk neighborhood in New Orleans (such as the Lower Ninth ward) get to participate in a real New Orleans style parade where they dress up as their favorite story character and hand out books to other children along the route.
Thousands of books are distributed and the number of books goes up each year.
This year's parade will be in Central City, home to several housing projects and thousands of kids in need of books. We need funds to pay for the mandatory police escort, musicians, repairs to our float and the bookmobile.
the steps
Secure a route and get approval for all the stops needed
Obtain city permit and pay for police escort
Secure bands for the event
Obtain signed registration forms from all children wishing to attend
Getting the floats and vehicles fixed and ready to roll.
Making sure we have enough books
Secure refreshments for young paraders
Ensure everyone has fun!!!
why we're doing it
New Orleans has several dubious records
The highest rate of children dropping out of high school in the nation.
Highest rate of crime per capita
Highest rate of incarceration in the world.
No bookmobile or library outreach service except for the #NOLABOOKLADY#
Study after study shows that children who have books in their home do better, in school and in life. The parade is a fun way to adapt local culture to promote literacy.
