This years Enactus project?

The City of South Bend will team up with the “Get Booked” program to set up “Huts” around South Bend. This program will be in conjunction with the Little Free Library to set up free standing libraries across the city.
What is a Little Free Library?
It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share.

The GET BOOKED program began in 2011 when then, South Bend Police Officer Derek Dieter began giving books to children around South Bend. Books were kept in the trunk of his police car and he was the Police Bookmobile. Initially books were donated by the St Joseph County Library to start the initiative.

In 2013 Dieter then teamed with the South Bend Silverhawks and the Salvation Army Kroc Center, to reward children who read books and then do a book report. The program consists of children reading five books and then completing book reports. When the book reports are turned in, the child is rewarded with either 4 tickets to a South Bend Silverhawks game or 4 day passes to the Kroc Center.
Since this program started, Better World Books has supplied over 12,000 books to area youth. After Dieter retired from the Police Department, he continued the program as a City Council member. In March of this year, Dieter went to 4 different schools to pass out books, Muessel, Marquette,Tarkington, and Holy Cross. An additional 300 books were passed out this summer to youth attending the SBCSC Science Camps.
Dieter and Deputy Mayor Mark Neal have teamed up, and the City of South Bend has partnered with the Little Free Library Program. Within the next few weeks “Get Booked Huts” will be appearing all over South Bend. Initially these will be placed in City Parks, and then neighborhoods may follow. Sites such as vacant lots, unity gardens or even a resident’s yard could be a location for a “Hut”.
Local Carpenter Union 413 will build 4 huts to kick off the program and they will be painted by youth’s at the upcoming Art Beat on August 16th.
Huts may be constructed by anyone, paperwork on the location must be completed and checked by the building department to make sure everything is up to city code. Better World Books will continue to supply books to the “Huts” and Pandora Books will also contribute to keep the “Huts” full of reading material as needed.
