Old Book Brings New Possibilities

When material assistance volunteer Donna Gividen came across a Little Red Riding Hood Golden Book while sorting donations at the Bartholomew County Center, she had a hunch it was worth more than the 29 cent label on the cover.

"While the back cover had been ripped off, none of the pages had been cut out," Donna said referring to the fact that the book was filled with punch out paper dolls.

So she took the book to her friend Judy Bowman who deals frequently with Antiques. She told Donna that the book was a rare find indeed and offered to sell it for the PCC. The final bid? $50! That one little book was multiplied to allow us to purchase many little books for babies of our clients. What a find!
