Grant get books for Cardington schools

By EVELYN LONG –

Cardington-Lincoln stu­dents have been given a new and wide choice of books to read. The 110 books were pur­chased with funds from a $750 grant obtained by the school’s Fac­ulty Asso­ci­a­tion and spon­sored by the Ohio Edu­ca­tion Asso­ci­a­tion, said Katie Por­teus, the dis­trict Librarian.

The books are divided evenly between the district’s three libraries, the Inter­me­di­ate, ele­men­tary and junior high/ high school. Por­teus said the books are basi­cally related to sci­ence and his­tory but a few are nov­els. She said books were also pur­chased last year and donated to grades K-8 and to the high school book club.

Junior high stu­dents were brows­ing through the books on the day this story was done. Por­teus is assisted in the library by Lori Vance and Mindy McGin­nis, aides. Pam Frysinger is pres­i­dent of the Fac­ulty Asso­ci­a­tion and she helped to write the grant.
