There is something so wonderful about a new book. Knowing you are the first person to hold it, open it, and read it is a wonderful experience. The crisp pages and the fresh smell of the print, the story inside - brand new to excited eyes. We are fortunate at Alkali to have a wonderful group of people who like new books as much as the kids do. Tom and Donald Crawford and Cynthia Eggert been providing a new hardback book each month. They receive a suggested title and present it to the library. Some of the titles come from the teachers. Some are from the library. But, each month they bring a wonderful new book for the kids at school to enjoy. Believe me when I say they do not stay on the shelves for long.
Every month the target of the book changes. It will be a fun chapter book one month, a great science nonfiction book the next, and a delightful picture book the month after that.
I cannot say thank you enough to these wonderful people. The Crawford Insurance Agency purchases books for several Heights area elementary libraries. We are fortunate to be one of them.
