Books for Children
Thanks to the Libri Foundation - and the Friends of the Library (they contributed matching funds) - we recently received a donation of 63 juvenile fiction books and 18 math and science books through the Foundation's Books for Children program. Kids' fiction books received include
Because of Winn-Dixie (Kate DiCamillo), Click, Clack, Moo (Doreen Cronin),
Coraline (Neil Gaimon), Mudshark (Gary Paulsen) and The Traitor’s Gate (Avi).
Of course, we can't forget those math and science books! Among the 18 received were
Cool Stuff 2.0 (Chris Woodford), Learning from Fossils (Sharon Katz Cooper)
and Where in the Wild? (David Schwartz).
The retail value of the donation is in excess of $1400 and is most welcome during this financially difficult time.
The recent 20.8 % cut in State funding has necessitated a reduction in the purchase of new materials for the Library and
The Libri Foundation's program (which donates children's books to rural publiclibraries) is an enormous help in supplementing the Library's collection expenditures.
