Towanda Scouts dedicate a new flag
donated to the library by the Towanda VFW. |
During National Library Week, a week-long series
of programs helped celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Building
Dedication. Thursday, April 16, two multi-media programs honored
Towanda library leaders and provided a glimpse at the history of the
library narrated by storyteller, Linda Garbe. Since 1939, countless
people and decades of commitment have made this library a reality.

Firefighters from Towanda Fire Department visited with children
attending the Towanda District Library Story Hour. “These firemen
and the fire lady are really friendly!” said the children. Each
child had the opportunity to climb inside a fire engine and an
ambulance. After the visit, children heard stories and learned about
protective fire gear - using an interactive computer game.

The Redbird Readers
program involves ISU/Towanda Elementary/Towanda District Library.
Every fall and spring, an education class comes to the library to
tutor 1st and 2nd graders (usually) in reading on Monday through Thursday afternoons. The Towanda
elementary students range in reading abilities so that the ISU
students have as good a chance at working with a good reader as they
do of working with a struggling one. The ISU students’ grades for
the course are based on the work they do here. The professor
lectures, has discussions, and gives exams here before and after the
elementary kids are here, so the entire university course is held at
this library.
