Crystal’s Books of Blessings donates books to local entities

Thursday, October 22, 2009 In celebration of the life of the late Crystal Barbee, the Barbee family collected and donated nearly 1,000 children’s books to local organizations on Oct. 5, which would have been Crystal’s 24th birthday.

As a result of the effort, called Crystal’s Books of Blessings, the Butterfly House Child Advocacy Center, Stanly Regional Medical Center, Millingport Elementary School and North Stanly High School all received books that will be enjoyed by children of all ages.

Many local churches and businesses made donations to the effort.

Stanly Regional, where Crystal worked until her death in 2006, will give books to pediatric patients.

“We appreciate the Barbee family’s contributions which will help bring comfort to our pediatric patients as well as keep Crystal’s memory alive,” said Ben Jolly, director of public relations at Stanly Regional.

They will be in the pediatric playroom on the 3rd floor and given to pediatric patients in areas such as the Emergency Department, Same Day Surgery, Imaging and Speech Therapy.

The Barbees plan to make the collection and donation campaign an annual effort.
