Randie’s Free Library is grateful and fortunate to get book donations from people of all walks of life. The gentleman pictured above is Cole. A proud military veteran and a recovering alcoholic, Cole is two years sober and regularly attends A.A. meetings. In his ongoing recovery, Cole gets excited about motivating and inspiring others to stay clean. Along with his wife and daughter, Cole takes care of several horses. Cole says that working with the horses is a big help to his sobriety. On this sunny September morning, Cole happily donated the book ‘Daily Reflections’ to Randie’s Free Library. ‘Daily Reflections’ contains positive and uplifting messages to help those dealing with addictions, sobriety, and recovery. Cole’s journey is certainly inspiring. Cole now works as a professional heating and cooling technician in Des Moines. As a kid, Cole enjoyed reading ‘Where The Wild Things Are’. The Little Free Library (honoring Randie at Moore Memorial Park in Ames) and Randie’s Free Library greatly appreciates all book donations. – Randolph Randy Camp
