      Books Are Valuable
New in 2022
This year, I’m going to make some changes in my monthly blogs. The first blog will be personal from me to you. And, the second will be more of an outreach featuring a live interview with an author, OR a teacher, OR a parent who can address the value of books in the lives of the young. Please contact me if you, or someone you know, would be interested in sharing experiences. Books are valuable!
