The Howe Library – Hanover, NH
Several years ago, The Howe Library in Hanover received a bequest of $2,000 from a long time cardholder. That bequest was used to establish the “1000 Books Reading Program” for preschoolers; 100 canvas bags each holding 10 books especially chosen for young readers and their parents by the youth librarian. The theory behind the program is that reading 1000 books to a child is a way to develop the joy of reading and to prepare a child for school. Who would have guessed that a remembrance in a longtime friend’s will would have such a long term benefit to the next generation?
