Book Nook gives away hundreds of free books just in time for summer break

From books about Disney princesses to sports and learning about the white house, the Book Nook has it all.

As summer rolls in, kids may be dreaming about vacation and going to the pool, but the Book Nook is wanting to make sure kids don't slow down on their reading as well.

From books about Disney princesses to sports and learning about the white house, the Book Nook has it all.

The Downtown Challenge Grant funded the event to activate the alley ways in downtown Macon.

Volunteer, Scott Mitchell says getting to read to the kids and giving them this space to learn is the best way to spend his Saturday.

"Summer is one of those times where kids can really slack on reading and so giving them books to read I mean is an amazing thing like they have their own books so they get to come out today and chose their own books," he says.

The kids all got to take home two to three books a piece and even got some fun other prizes like phonics cards and pencils to take home as well.
