Cavendish Librarian Speaks to Ludlow Rotary Club
Kata Welch, Librarian of the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, was the recent guest speaker at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC).
She stressed the importance of developing good reading habits at an early age to promote leadership qualities.
Among the features of her comments to the Rotarians were her references to various types of fictional and non-fictional literature to instill interest in youngsters to develop and continue their interest in reading.
Kata noted that books containing quality graphics often increased the readers interest in continuing their reading habits. She stressed that books may not always have deep meanings and themes so long as they sustained the attention of the reader, using a book on "Star Wars" as an example.
Citing her own background in Northern Vermont, Kata indicated that parental encouragement of reading was a primary factor in her own interest in reading.
Pictured above are Kata and Art Randolph, LRC President, during the luncheon meeting. Art described LRC's own participation in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program as an example of Rotary's continuing interest in supporting reading for young children.
The Cavendish Fletcher Community Library serves as both the town and school library for Cavendish and Proctorsville. Currently, the library is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturdays. The library contains approximately 14,000 items including books, movies, audio books and over 30 periodical subscriptions. It also has computers available for patron use and provides free Wi-Fi, inside and outside of the building.
Autumn has officially begun and Jack Frost isn't far away. Many gardens are already showing signs of leaf loss on squash, cukes, peppers, tomatoes, and basil. These are among the most susceptible plants. Good News, there are a few easy precautions we can take to protect our favorite plants and extend the gardening season to get a little more out of our summer long efforts. Now is also the best time to begin improving the soil for next year's garden so let's look at how a soil test and composting will be a big help.
