St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brockport is helping children get a head start on summer reading with its first-ever Children’s Book Sale on Saturday, June 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Prices for children’s books are 25 to 50 cents, and teen books are 50 cents to $1. Puzzles, VCR tapes, and DVDs are also available. All items are gently used.
St. Luke’s commitment to the community and love for children show in its various ministries, including Sunday School during 10 a.m. Sunday Worship; the Little Free Library, located at the State Street door, which is kept stocked with a variety of reading materials for all-age readers; and the parish’s Annual Book Sale, which takes place in July. The parish also celebrates newborns through Luke’s Layettes, which provides infant clothes for new moms in need. St. Luke’s is host to the community Food Shelf and Clothes Closet, and hosts Harvest Kitchen, to share a meal with whoever would like to join on the second Sunday of each month.
“With the challenges that COVID created for families over the past year, especially restrictions for students regarding access to schools and libraries, St. Luke’s wanted to help make books readily available and affordable for all our community’s children as they start their summer vacation,” said Ricki DeBaun, parish member and director of St. Luke’s book sales.
St. Luke’s welcomes book donations throughout the year. Books, CDs, DVDs, puzzles, and magazines can be left at the church office between 10 a.m. and noon, Monday through Thursday. For information, contact St. Luke’s at 637-6650, email stlukes@frontiernet.net, or visit www.stlukesbrockport.org.
