Angels Among Us

Thank God for the Angels among us. This 2020 year thusfar has been a challenge, to say the least, but it’s an unusually warm, sunny November day in Des Moines today. I’d pulled into my driveway a little while ago and noticed a box sitting on my front doorstep. The box was addressed to ‘RANDIE’S FREE LIBRARY’. It had traveled over a 1000 miles from Fredericksburg, Virginia! Thank you Sherry Grant for fulfilling my daughter’s dream and for being one of God’s Angels. Sherry, your box of nearly 100 children’s books will certainly put a smile on a kid’s face and brighten a kid’s life here in Des Moines. So many of you are Angels, and the coolest and the most beautiful thing about it is that you don’t need or bother to seek out any fanfare for your good deeds. Yes indeed, thank God for all of you Humbled Angels among us. – Randolph Randy Camp (Note:Located on Kirkwood Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa, RANDIE’S FREE LIBRARY honors the life of Randie Danielle Camp, who devoted most of her adult years to teaching the importance of literacy and the healing benefits of Bibliotherapy.)

APPRECIATING GRACIOUS NEIGHBORS: Randie's Free Library...During this coronavirus pandemic many public libraries are shutdown or only offering limited services. Please consider donating your used books to a neighborhood free library or book exchange. Books have this amazing ability to light up someone's life. Randie's Free Library would like to thank our Kirkwood Avenue neighbors, Mark and Jen, for their gracious donation of over fifty books recently. And again, a big thank you to Sherry Grant, the St. Vincent dePaul Society (Kristen, Chad, and Jennifer), the Forest Branch of the Des Moines Public Library, and so many other kind neighbors who have contributed to the growing collection of books at Randie's Free Library, and for keeping Randie Danielle Camp's dream alive by spreading the joy of reading to everyone. Read, read, read. Thank you, Randolph Randy Camp
