St. Louis Blues launch Louie’s Little Free Library for kids

ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Blues’ charity is launching a new initiative to help boost literacy and engagement for children in the community.

In partnership with local youth hockey associations, Blues for Kids launched Louie’s Little Free Library, a new book program that allows children across the greater St. Louis area to take or share books for free.

As a part of the program, St. Louis Blues-themed book nooks will be installed across community ice rinks in the region. Each location will feature a starter pack of books and a registration on the Little Free Library website, making it easy for anyone to access the resources.
