Reading Partners Reading Chain on Display in IMC

UWEC Reading Partners have created a reading chain and it is now on display in the IMC. Each link on the paper chain represents a book that was shared between a UWEC student volunteer and a young child. Some of the students actually meet here in the library to read to their young partner! Stop by and see the chain and watch it grow over the next few weeks. For more information about the Reading Partners program contact Lucianne Boardman at boardml@uwec.edu.
