Tim, a 13-year-old boy, got his idea from a TV show. It was about saving books for the community library.

Tim wanted to help children in their community to have more chances to read books. He started Saving Books Program. Its goal was to collect books for the local library. Tim went from door to door to get books from the people around. He ended up collecting 260 books. All the books went to the library. “I love to see where the books go, and how people are enjoying them,” Tim said.

With the help of his sister, Tim made the program a success. They put up posters (海报) to spread the word: saving books for the local library.

Now, Tim is in seventh grade. He has taken the program a step further. He helps in the library when he is free at weekends. His program has inspired (激励) other kids to do more service for their own community.

Joe, the librarian, knows how much Tim cares about community service. “In third grade, Tim started Smile Mail. It’s a program in which kids send cheerful gifts to the old. It’s still going strong. He is warm-hearted,” Joe said.

“I really like doing community service,” Tim said. “I’m proud of what I have done.”
