An exciting program that FMPL has taken on!
FMPL is funding the REACH OUT AND READ program in Seymour, WI. Hurray! Children from birth to 3 are given books at wellness visits at these three clinics in Seymour:
Aurora, Bellin and Pervea.
FMPL cares about fostering readers and the habit of reading within young families. Stickers giving credit to FMPL will be put in each book given away.
We are thankful to Abbey Unruh who works at the Appleton Public Library and administers the program regionally.
To find out more about this wonderfully important and successful program please go to : REACH OUT AND READ.

Thanks to FMPL! One of our AWE stations hit its 10 year mark and also hit its demise!
FMPL came through immediately and we had a new one up and running within two weeks.
This is so appreciated as our youngest patrons enjoy the AWE stations. They are standalone
computers (unconnected to the Internet) that teach early learning skills using high quality
children's literature and characters.
