Celebrate Reading with Reading Friends


"A good book is the best of friends."
- English Proverb

Grandparents of middle school students gathered in the library for a welcome reception for Grandparent's day and to hear about "Reading Friends", a new program which celebrates reading and supports the Libraries' program from PreK - 12th grade.

Library Director Kathleen Ellis described how the library program supports reading for information and pleasure in the middle school curriculum and beyond - encouraging a lifelong passion for reading in all students.

On display were new reading selections that showcased reading in all of its forms: paper bound books along side of digital eBooks on Kindles, iPads and laptops.
