Tehachapi Kiwanis are at it again! Thanks to their hard work they installed a new kid's Little Free Library at Billingsley Vet clinic in Sand Canyon at21834 Ferncuko St, Tehachapi, CA 93561. We can't forget to thank the lovely Dr. Billingsley for allowing the Kiwanis to park the library in a safe, sheltered spot. We stuffed some books and bookmarks in there afterward to make sure little readers have a lot of good material.

The library is located outside the front door of the clinic for easy access outside vet hours.

Thanks to the anonymous Sprite who agreed with small bribes to model the new bookstore.

Update: Rained out! Books and water aren't happy together.

This is the fashionable event of the season, be there or be square. If your TBR stack is not taller than your head then you didn't buy enough books.

UPDATE: The book sale has been postponed due to rain this weekend. New date to be announced.

The middle school band could use support in acquiring the instruments listed below! Tehachapi Kiwanis wants to help supply the following instruments, whether used or new. If you have an instrument gathering dust, the middle schoolers would love to give it new life! Ideally, they'd get those instruments from the school, but since they can't get the funding, the band teacher reached out to the Kiwanis for help.

We're grateful to our fairie friends the Tehachapi Kiwanis for accepting us as members! It's so cool to find an organization that realizes kids deserve food for their minds and souls. Our values definitely align there! Check out their page linked here to see what they have going on and who they are. Right now they're selling See's Candy to benefit the THS art department, see info on their page or the flyer. They're also running a fundraiser through Round Table this Sunday the 25th. With the uncertainty in schools right now facing layoffs and program cuts, they're still trying to make a difference.

The deadline to order candy is 1/31, don't miss out!
