Inside Out Playground
The Barefoot Storyteller hopes you will join her in wishing The Inside Out Playground a fond goodbye this November....
It is with deep regret that the board has informed me that the Inside Out Playground will beclosing at the end of November due to the financial pressures of trying to stay opencoupled with the state of our local economy. The Inside Out Playground (IOP) began16 years ago as a space for children to grow and learn while playing. Over theyears, a dedicated and volunteer Board of Directors have strived to keep this uniqueplace open, available and affordable to the children of Kennebec County. They have had thousands of children and families play, dream and explore with us but the reality of maintaining a business makes it a challenge to keep the dream alive. They will be open for business as usual until November 25, 2009. Please come on in,out of the cold and bring a friend to play. Hours are: Tuesday –Friday 9:00 am-1:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. They are still booking birthday parties until November 25th.
The Inside Out Playground is located at 5 Appleton Street Waterville.
I will miss storytelling there, and very very fondly remember the times I learned and played alongside my own son when he was young there.

Barefoot Books are Eco-friendly
In case you haven't yet read this upon the Barefoot Books site:
All of the paper that we use in our books is ancient forest friendly. As the name suggests, this means that we only use paper provided by responsible suppliers running well managed forests who do not destroy ancient trees in the process of making paper.
Further, the felled timber is not replaced with an inappropriate fast-growing species (such as pine, which is unsuitable for high quality paper production on reaching maturity) but with a similar species which is given time to mature before being felled for further paper production.
All of the ink that we use is vegetable or soy based (as opposed to oil based) and our laminates and adhesives are water based (as opposed to solvent based).
Isn't that good to know?

Literacy Pledge Drives
This is how my Literacy Pledge Drive Program works:
• Parents pledge to read with their child for 15 minutes each night for 5 nights. • Parents collect pledges in support of their reading initiatives. They ask for a suggested donation of $1-$2 per night of reading ($5-$10 pledge). Each family’s goal is to raise at least $25. Prizes are given to families at the $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 pledge level. • After all pledges are collected and the parent has read with the child for 5 days, the family can choose books from Barefoot Books for up to 50% of the total amount of their pledges. • Parents turn in their pledge forms, money collected, along with a filled out order form for Barefoot Books. • The school collects all the pledge money and places a school book order for the other 50% raised. • All monies raised, sponsor pledge forms and order forms (from the school and parents) are then turned into myself. • Once the books arrive and prizes arrive, they are dispersed to parents and the school library. As your Barefoot Ambassador, I handle everything for you. For every dollar raised: Earns Parents .50 worth in Barefoot Books Earns the School .50 in Barefoot BooksTuesday, September 15, 2009
