February is Read-A Million-Minutes month. The elementary school invited members of the community to read aloud to students on Friday, February 16th. The readers read stories, poetry, nonfiction, and even the newspaper to the students. Pictured above is reader Kris Koehnk, librarian for the Montgomery Memorial Library.
