Velocity Of Books Corp

Velocity of Books began because of 2 young boys and their mother's concern that there are kids in our community who have never had a book of their own. Beginning with book swap stations at a local elementary school, with donated books, VOB has quickly expanded. They now have these swap stations at multiple schools, and have sent books to prisons, shelters and senior centers. With 2 county libraries closed this summer Carolyn arranged with a local school principal to set up an interim library and had thousands of books delivered so that the school kids will still have access to books for their summer reading.
Carolyn Thompson works tirelessly to promote literacy. She has connected groups who have books with those who need them, fostering change on a large scale.
On July 16, 2016 she organized the first of what will most likely be an annual event: the Rockville Rock 'n Read, a four hour festival which included a live band, an author appearance, games and balloons for kids, and most importantly, 10,000 FREE books! Besides making a difference in our community, she is offering the Rock 'n Read template to organizations in other areas in order to help them run their own successful events.

When I begin to volunteer for this organization I found out that all the books were been donated to begin a literacy program that was in dyer need of books and velocity of books made that happen.
