About

¾«¶«´«Ã½

Wayne County Public Library's 2008 summer reading program theme, “Catch the Reading Bug,” incorporates a community garden, located on the library grounds, as a meeting place where diversity is celebrated. Librarian Shorlette Ammons-Stephens is working with community organizations, such as the Wayne County Cooperative Extension and the Goldsboro Parks and Recreation Department, to foster a respect and understanding for individuals with special needs, families whose first language is not English and “at-risk” youth.
