We are readingthe Red Clover books so they can join other youthin Vermont as they vote on their favorite in May.The Red Clover Book Award is designed for childrenin kindergarten through fourth grade. Each yearthousands of Vermont school children read the 10nominated picture books and vote for their favoritein the spring. The award has been handed outannually since 1997. This month we read All the Wayto the Top: How One Girl’s Fight for Americans withDisabilities Changed Everything by Pimentel, AnnetteBay. Ask your Onward student about it.

MEET THE FRIENDSThe Friends ofAinsworth PublicLibrary is a group ofvolunteers giving thegift of their time,energy, andenthusiasm to thissmall community
library.The mission of the group is to raisemoney to support library programs, projectsand needs beyond that provided by townfunding. Friends’ fundraising has paid forwindow shades, folding table and chairs, an airconditioner, and in order for children to havejuice during the weekly Story Time, amini-refrigerator. Funds have also been used topurchase adult and youth books, prizes forreading contests, and materials for workshops.Fundraising efforts are now focused on payingfor the new mobile bookshelves in the library’sChildren’s Room. Librarian Sarah Snow isdelighted with this addition. She says, “Therewere safety issues with the way the books wereshelved in wire baskets. Children couldn’t seethe books well, and would sometimes pull thebook-heavy baskets down causing books tofall on them or pinching their fingers. Havingthe book bins allows children to look at booksat their eye level and easily reach in and takewhat appeals to them. The bottom of the binsallow for our youngest baby patrons to easilyaccess books at their eye level. Since the binsare on wheels we can use the youth space inmore creative ways.” The Friends would love
to welcome new volunteers. Let us know if youare interested in helping.
