Girls Scout produces library in a box

Children participating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony outside Madera community building.
Kids celebrate the opening of a new community project in Madera with a ribbon-cutting event.

Isadora Zabel, an 11-year-old representing Girl Scout Troop 4006 completed her Bronze Award submission with the building of a library box in Madera.

She built the box to share her passion for literacy with other children. She originally wanted to erect a library in a box for the rural community, but was told she couldn’t.

She wasn’t deterred. She asked her church, Sunset Church of Christ at 600 Orchard Avenue (near Thomas Jefferson Middle School and John Adams Elementary School) to find a home for her box.
