WINNIE BELLE LEARNED GRANT PROJECT COMPLETED: Two gorgeous children’s book displays have been built and installed by local woodworker Clarence Baker, thanks to a generous grant from the Winnie Belle Learned Foundation. The grant was funded by Dr. Burnett Rawson and administered by the Vermont Department of Libraries. Pre-school story hour children and Roxbury school children in grades Pre-K – 2 have been visiting the library this week to use them! Fully loaded with colorful picture books, the displays allow children to see the face of each book, so that they can indeed judge a book by its cover, as opposed to just the spine. They are a great addition to the children’s section of the library, and we’re most grateful.
