NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center
The Free Book Buggie is a great partner with us at NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center! Our children’s book shelves in the medical reception, dental clinic and human services building look much better since we received your books and I had 3 little kids come visit me as I was restocking today. They were so excited! We could easily go through 20 books a day because we encourage each child to take home a pre-school book with each visit to NorthPoint. Our goal is to get young children excited about reading before they start school. During the school break times, we are busier than ever and it is great to keep the young scholars interested in learning. Thank you!
