Springtime has arrived and with it comes a variety of events that are sure to please. On Saturday, April 8th, Cindy Russell presented “The History of Dick and Jane Books”. Cindy’s program was a nostalgic look at the history of these classic readers, enhanced by images from her extensive collection. Watch the event here.
