Donations are being collected to build “Kaitlyn’s Little Free Library” at USD 489’s Early Childhood Connections, 2502 E. 13th St.
Kaitlyn Cubillo, 5, died in January, and her parents, Julie and Fili Cubillo, are creating a “take a book, leave a book” free book exchange in her memory.
The goal is to raise $370 for the weather-resistant structure that will be located outside the Early Childhood Connections building. Any donations above that goal will go towards the purchase of books to stock the library.
On Tuesday, April 27, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 4101 N. Vine, will have a special menu available from 4 to 8 p.m., said Dana Stanton with Early Childhood Connections. The restaurant will donate 50 percent of its sales from that special menu to the library, Stanton said.
