Lending Libraries come to Terrell

Body
Kaufman County Community United It started a few years ago before my time…the purpose of the Free Lending Libraries was to put books in the hands of all ages, from 0 to 99. I am a firm believer in reading to your child, sitting in a peaceful place by yourself reading a good novel or enjoying time with your grandchildren by reading to them. I have very fond memories of my grandmother reading to me and it was such a special time.
