The Fisher Whiting Memorial Library in Mapleton was chosen to be part of Iowa Total Care's 100 Libraries in Iowa Literacy Program, a literacy program being gifted to only 100 libraries across the state of Iowa. By being chosen for this program, the Library has been awarded $500 and a literacy toolkit to support our kids' literacy advancement.
The gift was to be used to add more children's books to the collection. Stop in the library during normal business hours to receive a tote bag and get more information about the program.
Since reading is important for childhood development, we are grateful for this opportunity to improve our young patrons' reading habits!
