Governor Healy recently officially signed the Freedom to Read Bill into law! Watch a video of Monday’s ceremony at the Franklin Public Library. Former Head of Public Services Andrea Fiorillo gives a speech at about 22:45 and references our experience here in Reading.
Here is the final version of the law.
We have a few helpers who will be helping us maintain the exterior native and sensory garden areas – weeding and watering as they can. Please see Amy if yo you have questions or if you they need assistance.
Our Busy Bees Volunteers will be stopping by the Borrower Services desk to sign in and pick up the watering cans (2 blue ones), their gardening apron which signals they are a volunteer, and tools (if they don’t bring their own). Everything (except the watering cans) is in the green Busy Bees Bucket located near the blue watering cans.
See attached for a recent article in The Readings magazine regarding our Rooted in Reading grant.
