My Barefoot: Barefoot stallholders come to the aid of library devastated by fire

On June 24, fire ravaged the Swans Island Library in Swans Island, Maine, leaving not much more than a pile of ashes where the 100-year-old building once stood.
This August, Barefoot Books stallholders will rally to rebuild the library with amazing children’s books.
“When I heard about this fire, it tugged at my heartstrings,” says Kasey Jackson, a Barefoot Books stallholder in Indianapolis, Indiana. “I wanted to do something myself to help—send a few books—something. But I also thought we could do something on a larger scale. That’s when I decided to spread the word to see what we could do.”
