In response to public library budget cuts, Micki Watanabe Spiller’s project A Woodside Walk: Bubbles and Books engaged her neighbors in a series of literacy-based activities that took place in and around her local laundromat. Micki’s activities included creating a hand illustrated local guidebook for parents to use during neighborhood walks with their children, building a book cart for her laundromat and organizing story times for her neighborhood’s families.
