"Last spring," announced Lisa Blackwell, "I heard about a State Library of Ohio grant called Choose to Read Ohio and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for us to promote reading with the schools. I brought the idea to the Literacy Committee. Julie Rinaldi wrote the application. We got the grant! On April 19th, author Marcia Schonberg will read her book "B is for Buckeye" to the 4th graders at Daniel Wright. Every 4th grader will receive a signed copy. She will meet parents at the Dublin Branch Library that evening.

On Friday April 20th, she will join us at our morning meeting. What a wonderful way to promote reading where students have the greatest need and in our community!"

Thanks to Claudia and Dublin AM for providing 25% matching funds to make it happen.
