February is "I Love to Read" Month!

These four bookcases are the entire library for
a 500-student school in Kenya.  
Photographed by Gail Michener, Feb. 2012.

As we celebrate reading this month (and every month!) let's celebrate all the wonderful books we have in our Rose Park School Library.  Some children who love to read are not as fortunate.   Stop in and check some out!
