Remain in Touch

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is rit-logo.png

We’re staying true to our commitment of being community advocates, that’s why we’re super excited to announce Bay Books’ partnership with Remain in Touch.

If you haven’t heard of Remain in Touch here’s the details, they’re an awesome 501(c)(3) non-profit literature program. This is a program offered here in Leelanau Benzie County jails. They focus on giving inmates an opportunity to choose a free book for their children. The age range for the free book is 0 to 12 years old. Once the book is selected, the inmate will be recorded reading the book out loud. Then the book and recording will be sent to their child. This allows the parent to Remain in Touch with their child, which meets the goal of bridging the gap that’s created during the incarceration period.

We think this is an amazing program because it ensures that neither child nor parent has been forgotten. The benefits of this program are priceless. The children will be able to read/listen to their parent’s reading to them as many times as they wish. Both the book and recording will be theirs to keep. If you’d like to learn more check out Remain in Touch’s website.

Ready, Set, Order

Here’s a list of books available for ages 0-12 that are currently available. You get to select the book you’d like to gift to a child. When purchasing you’ll receive 20% off of that book. From there we will connect with Remain in Touch to give them the book. Then they’ll gift it to where it needs to go. Use promo code: REMAININTOUCH to get the 20% offer on these books.

‘Books and Wine’

Our book choice for August 9th will be “The Lives of Diamond Bessie” by Jody Hadlock. Our featured winery is not a winery at all. We have managed to cover all the wineries on Leelanau Peninsula, save for a few that we are featuring when the season slows a bit for them. Therefore, we will be enjoying a special cocktail that pairs well with the book. This libation is just as unique as Diamond Bessie!
Along with each person’s RSVP, we will respond with the special recipe and the location of our meeting. We will be meeting virtually, as well as in-person for the first time. The zoom link will be sent as usual, Tuesday morning for those wish to join us that way!

RSVP at baybooksmi@gmail.com.
