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.
Louie’s Little Free Library will initially be featured at these locations:
-Centene Community Ice Center: 750 Casino Center Drive, Maryland Heights, Mo. 63043
-East Alton Ice Arena: 631 Lewis and Clark Boulevard, East Alton, Ill. 62024
-Maryville University Ice Rink: 18383 Chesterfield Airport Road, Chesterfield, Mo. 63005
-McKendree Metro Rec Plex: 205 Rec Plex Drive, O’Fallon, Ill. 62269
