Thank You for Your Book Donations



THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIFTS OF BOOKS

Diane Turner and I would like to thank all of you who participated in the 'Day of Caring' by donating books to children at the Wexler-Grant School in New Haven. The children and staff were extremely appreciative. Wexler-Grant is beautifully renovated, easy to get to and only five minutes away. It is my hope that we can continue this outreach effort to the community.  What better way to have librarians demonstrate our commitment to reading and learning than by giving books to children at the age when they are just forming the habit of reading?  I've promised that we will visit again and others may be able to join me.

Special thanks go to Jessica Linicus for coordinating this project and to John Vincenti and Kim Raseman's staff for their pick-up and delivery work. I invite you to look at one of the photographs taken with the children. There will be many more in the upcoming issue of Library Links.

Thank you again.

Alice
