Each year, Soho gives about ten thousand children's books to Public Libraries across Virginia.  We partner with the
Library of Virginia to provide quality children's books to 92 public libraries for their Summer Feeding/Reading Programs.
Most of the books are used by children throughout the summer months and then are given to the children as gifts.
Some of the books are added to the libraries' collections and used for lending and outreach purposes




Here's a note from the Director of the Bowling Green Branch library -


"As the director of a county library system, I have had the opportunity to create outreach opportunities to bring library services outside of the four walls and directly into the lives of the people they serve.


"One such instance is doing a pre-k storytime (and sometimes pre-literacy) craft session with local daycare centers. This particular day, I was bringing books to the center and had one in my hand, Oh So Tiny Bunny.

"I went into the room and saw the children were all sitting on the floor watching the movie Ice Age. I went and sat behind the group. As the movie still played, one by one they discovered me sitting there and got so excited and started climbing up on my lap and patting my hair and begging for me to read. The movie was turned off, and a truly magical afternoon began!"
