Brigid Halloran

Brigid Halloran is a former Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Girl Scout and a 2018 Gold Award recipient.

For her Gold Award project Locker Book Drop, Brigid wanted to unite her town and also encourage community members to embrace literacy. To accomplish this goal, she converted unused lockers in her town’s municipal center into book drop boxes. She painted all of the old lockers to look like a long row of bookshelves, and built shelves for the interior of the lockers to hold the books that she collected throughout the community. People in town can pick up books to read, return them, and add more books to the lockers at their convenience.
