The Friends of the Fayette County Public Library assist

the Fayette County Library in providing literacy programs for

our community, free of charge. Programs include the Children's

Summer Reading Club, the Teen's Summer Reading Club, and a

new "Books for Babies" program. A portion of the proceeds will

be given to the K Kids Club to promote literacy within the school.

National Children's Book Week was started in 1919 and

is dedicated to spreading the word about children's literature

and encouraging the joys of reading. This year's theme is "Books

Go Everywhere" on mass transit, in cars and on planes, even

those en route to the moon. This year's theme reflects the mobile,

exciting and varied society in which today's children live.
