Through the R.E.A.C.H. a Child organization, the Stephenson Public Library is teaming up with the Marinette Fire Department, Police Department, Bay Area Medical Center Ambulance Services, and the Friends of the Library to put books in the hands of local children experiencing crisis situations. The goal of this endeavor is to put a smile on a child's face in the midst of a personal catastrophe, including domestic violence calls, house fires, car accidents, home displacement, and other traumatic events.
The big kickoff for this program will be held in the Children's Room of the Library on Thursday, May 27 at 3:30pm. The children's book author and co-founder of R.E.A.C.H. a Child, Paul Gilbertson, will be reading his books and talking about the program to anyone who wants to come. Hopefully, many children and their parents will be here to support this initiative. Representatives from the Fire Department, Police Department, and Friends of the Library will also be in attendance.
