Drive-Thru Book Giveaways on St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John

U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — POSTPONED: On April 18, the Community Foundation For teh Virgin Islands announced that the drive-through book giveaways are postponed until further notice. No specific reason was given other than that the events had to be postponed due to "unforeseen circumstances."

The Little Free Library Initiative is making it even easier to access books. Attend one of their free drive-through book giveaways on St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix and take home free books for every kid in your family.

With Covid-19 restrictions making it hard for parents and kids to visit Little Free Library sites, the organization decided to bring the books to the people. They teamed up with the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands and the USVI Department of Tourism to host events throughout the territory. Books are geared towards all kids, from infants to teenagers. And every kid can take home a bag containing three to four pre-selected books.
