WORLD BOOK DAY 2023

Help us send books to children in places with no internet, electricity, or school libraries. Children deserve to have books!

DANCE to THE CHIGGERS
DINE with CELEBRITIES
DONATE to CHARITIES for CHILDREN!
A World Book Day event ticket buys you a seat at a table with a local, national, or international celebrity: authors, artists, athletes, media personalities, local heroes, and much more! There will be 19 tables under a beautiful tent. Tickets are all general admission and cost $150 each. There are 8 seats at each table. Two seats will be filled with a celebrity and his or her guest. Part of the fun will be finding out who YOUR celebrity will be because our fabulous celebrities will draw their table number for the evening.
Enjoy a delicious dinner and dance the night away to music by The Chiggers, winner of 2020’s Best Local Band Award! 2020 was also the year that Libraries for Kids, International won the local Chamber of Commerce award for Best Non-Profit. Winning that award was a tremendous honor, but the Pandemic made it harder than ever to raise funds, especially for a newly formed nonprofit. With a lot of hard work, and some wonderful, caring supporters, we persevered and in just 3 years created more than 3,000 libraries in rural areas of Kenya.
But there is much more to do! Kenya has over 6,753 rural schools and approximately 1.5 million children with little or no electricity or internet. Our goal is to supply all rural Kenyan schools with a library. Looking ahead we have a waiting list of countries needing help and are collaborating with other non-profits to expand into Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and beyond.
It’s fun telling folks I’m the Chair of a Chamber award-winning Charity offering Chiggers and Celebrities for Children! Yes, haha I’m “chamelessy,” and cheerfully cheesy. Pretty soon I’ll probably start calling our honored guests “Chelebrities,” and if you read this far, you’ll know why.
