Abington Parents Read

A collaborative effort between the Abington Community Library and teachers from Abington Heights School District will begin in January.  The brain child of teacher Cyndi Page, this "novel" program will provide parents and other interested adults in our community the chance to read and discuss a piece of literature that public school children read in their classrooms. 

Discussions, hosted by the Abington Community Library, will be voluntarily facilitated at five different one hour book discussions by the Abington Heights English/Reading teachers teaching the books.  By engaging parents on this level, together we hope to strengthen the educational/home tie, heighten literacy in our community, demonstrate the relevance of our public school classrooms, and bolster a commitment to lifelong learning.

Register for each session individually by calling 587-3440; books will be available at the circulation desk of the library and through the Library system catalog, www.lclshome.org/abington.
