Meet Beverly, aka “Bookmark Bev,” one of our incredible residents at Belmont Village Senior Living St. Matthews, whose passion for reading has inspired thousands. 💌 For more than 20 years, Bev has handcrafted one-of-a-kind bookmarks, sparked by a personal mission that began when her grandson was diagnosed with dyslexia. She even has two of her bookmarks at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., on permanent exhibit. What began as a local effort in Louisville schools has grown into a global act of kindness, as her bookmarks have now reached children around the world. Just take a look at the photo; the red dots on the map show all the places where Bev’s bookmarks have found a home. 🌍📌 To Bev, reading is more than a skill; it’s a lifelong gift. 🎁📚❤️
