Now that the summer programs have started up, attendance has almost doubled within the week. It warmed her heart that chwww.onedoor.ccildren still found solace and adventure within the pages of a good book. The more children read, the more books they will take out, and eventually, the more books that need to be shelved. But this was not a problem- not for a book lover.
