The Crossover Little Free Library Dedication Ceremony
March Corprew Place (adjacent to 1045 Bells Mill Road)
Bells Mill, VA
Kwame hosts a dedication ceremony for a Crossover-themed Little Free Library on his ancestral land - the land his great-great grandfather, March Corprew, purchased in 1870 and farmed after returning from the Civil War.
The Little Free Library organization is a non-profit organization that promotes neighborhood book exchanges (leave a book, take a book) through public bookcases installed in communities that may not have access to libraries or books in a more traditional way. Kwame is thrilled to partner with Little Free Library on this important initiative.
This event is free and open to the public.
