Timely news

I'm always glad when students take time to sit on our sofa and read the paper, or read newspapers online. And I always try to incorporate some news in each month's themed display. For "Financial Wellness Month," I have info on Rhode Island Sen. Claiborne Pell, who passed away New Year's Day at age 90. In the 1970s, he spearheaded the program that is now known as Pell Grants. Of course that program means so much to so many of our students.

In past months, I had articles on Seminole tribe events and Hispanic award programs. Often the local papers' coverage dovetails with our library themes. There will be a lot of news for Black History Month!
