| Librarians provide programs for children living in encampments in Petit Goave. |
Maria, one of the librarians at Central Library, told us an excellent story about an Arlington teen and summer reading:
A young teen girl came to the desk looking for a couple of specific titles. I helped her and got her the books. I told her about Teen Get Caught Reading and explained that if she signed up, she could possibly winning $100 or other gift cards.
Then I told her about helping Haiti. Her reply was: “So I will be a winner just by participating.”
She was so sincere and happy that she would be helping Haiti just by doing her reading for school and pleasure. It was a nice experience for me as a librarian to see.
We think Arlington teens are pretty awesome.
