It was another busy, fun day on Tuesday, April 4th, at Merchantville School as members from several Borough services, teachers and others joined the students for a day of reading! Mayor Ted Brennan, our Camden County Librarian Ms. Orbanus and former teachers Mrs. Fields, Mrs. Harvey-Wilson, and Mrs. Batterman shared their love of reading with Merchantville's youngest residents. Thank you to everyone that came in to spread the joy of reading.
On Read Across America Day, our Nation recognizes the value of literacy to our democracy. We celebrate the books that inspire our children to dream big, expand the limits of their understanding, and explore diverse perspectives and cultures through the eyes of others. We also honor educators, parents, librarians, authors, mentors, and everyone who fosters the power of reading to open doors of opportunity and build greater awareness about the complex world around us. As Dr. Seuss wrote, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
