'I’ll tell you what I want is for every librarian in this county to complain that everyone has checked out all the books and they need more books.”
Garrison Commander John Ives and Superintendent Jacqui Clay are working with educators, businesses and parents to create a county-wide book club. The purpose is to increase the number of grade level appropriate books K through 12th grade students are reading. Ives said he hopes this program inspires kids to find their life-long passion for reading.
The book club will reward students based on the number of books they read. Right now, Clay and Ives are planting the idea with community leaders and educators to get feedback and find people to help lead the charge. As soon as they have a strong group of book club leaders they can launch the program across the county.
