I want you all to join me in congratulating Luc Nottrott in his Special Olympic wins. This is Luc's second year in these events. His last meet in Machesney Park was for the 100 meter run in which he took first place, and he took third place in the softball throw. He has many medals from the events he has participated in, and has trained to be an Athlete Leader in Region A.

Luc was chosen as Athlete of the Year from among 750 participants. What a great accomplishment!

Luc is such a great asset to our Library and we are so proud!!

"Celebrated on 23rd April, the World Book Day is no less than a festival for all the bibliophiles. World Book Day, also known as World Book and Copyright Day, or International Day of the Book is an event organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright and was first celebrated in 1995. On this day, books and literature are celebrated and promoted through various mediums such as world book day quotes, social media posts, campaigns, etc."
So in honor of World Book Day, I would like to share this quote with you;
"Books are uniquely portable magic."
