Barefoot Books CEO, daughter build library in Senegal

We love reading, and we love books. We can visit our local library or our friends at our local bookstore any time we want, and choose a title that takes us to a far away land.

We are also big fans of Barefoot Books, and was so impressed to hear about how the bookstore retailer's co-founder and CEO, Nancy Traversy, and her daughter Meaghan, created a library for school children in Senegal. They actually did it!  Talk about a shiny hero...
