Riggs Construction Builds Book Caboose For Kirkwood Aquatic Center

St. Louis, Mo. – As the summer season continues to heat up, adorers of both water and sunshine will flock to their neighborhood pools. For frequent visitors of the Kirkwood Aquatic Center, this season will offer something unique: a book caboose. Riggs Construction & Design, a Kirkwood design-build remodeling firm, constructed a mobile book caboose for the pool, created specifically to house books for swimmers to enjoy.

“As Kirkwood residents, it truly gives us great pleasure to give back to the community,” said Amie Riggs Swarts, Vice President of Riggs Construction & Design.  “The book caboose will afford swimmers the opportunity to keep up with their summer reading, all while basking in the sun.”

In cooperation with the Kirkwood Public Library, readers will have access to a hearty collection of donated books. Upon the conclusion of their visit, pool-goers may either leave the book in the caboose or pack it in their bag to take home. The library consists of a variety of interests and titles, providing an ultimate experience for children and adults alike.

“At Riggs, we revel in the opportunity to design something wholly unique,” said Riggs Swarts.  “It is our hope that the book caboose will be able serve pool-goers for years to come.”
