“We are very appreciative and this will be able to help fund our program that we are planning to extend this year.

A huge thank you to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for allowing us to serve our community even better this year,” said Bonnie Sabatini, library director.

The Waddington Reading & Rec program will run from July 5-Aug. 12.
Swimming Lessons will also be offered again this summer at the beach.
Registration will be available soon.
The library also plans to post eight StoryWalks® along the St. Lawrence River-Walk for anyone to enjoy.
The library received a $500 grant from the North Country Library System to help fund this for the summer, Sabatini said.
StoryWalks® promote movement & learning. Let’s Move in Libraries is an international initiative to get people of all ages and abilities on the path to health.
“Our first StoryWalk® will be posted and available for use on June 27th. There will be a new StoryWalk® available every week through August 12th,” Sabatini said.
