We were so happy this week to have visitors from Roxbury Central School.  Visiting our library was part of their For the Love of Books Month (FLOB), and sharing stories with grades Kindergarten, 1, 2, and 4 was an absolute pleasure.  Many of the children took out their very first library cards!  Below are photos of Kindergarten and grades 1 and 2:  grade 4 photo will be available next week.  Many thanks to RCS librarian Margaret Tucker and the classroom teachers and staff for making this possible!
