Last week I visited three local libraries. I encourage everyone to utilize the services your local library has to offer–for teens and adults.

Tuesday, I visited Mooretown Branch Library and got a chance to speak with a group of 5th graders. They were a captive audience and I enjoyed listening to their short stories at the end of our activity. Ms. Sudds put together a wonderful program and I hope they are encouraged to read more.

Wednesday, I stopped by the Atkins Branch Library. Ms. Parson (see picture below) has a program called “Teen Life Skills” and on this particular day, I spoke with a group of young men and women from Job Corps (see picture above & below).

Thursday, I spoke with the librarian Ms. Jackson and a group of young ladies at the Cedar Grove library. We talked about internet safety and of course books.

These three librarians are real good with young people so I want to encourage others to check out their local libraries and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you can’t find a book on the shelf.
