As schools get ready to get back in session, there are kids everywhere dreading the 'H' word... homework. ;-)

Thankfully, Shmoop is available to help!

The Columbia County Rural Library District has purchased new books for children and teens that are reluctant to read.  These reluctant reader books are reading levels first grade through high school.  Many of the books purchased are new graphic books as well as non-fiction and fiction books.  Also purchased for the adult readers are High Interest, Low Reading level books – fiction, nonfiction, and graphic books.

The Friends of the Dayton Memorial Library generously gave Columbia County Rural Library District $4,000 for the 2011 year to purchase Reluctant Reader and Hi-Lo Interest Reading level books for the Dayton Memorial Library.  Books have been selected by the staff and purchased quarterly.  The new adult literacy books have just arrived.  More graphic books for children and teens will be purchased later this fall.

September is library card sign-up month @ your library when the American Library Association and libraries across the country remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all.  Come to the Dayton Memorial Library to get your new library card.  If you have lost your library card, you can replace it free during the month of September.  Normal cost to replace a library card is $1.00.  Please call the library if you have questions about getting a library card.  382-4131 or email library@daytonwa.net.
