One
Book, One Community - During the month of May the Mengle Memorial Library will be
promoting the One Book, One Community concept focused around the book Bright
from the Start by Dr. Jill Stamm. Over the past few months the
library has been holding programs on early learning. Bright from the
Start was the inspiration for these programs. The library is
encouraging the Brockway community to learn the easy ways they can positively
affect the young children in our community.
