The Holly Springs Primary School thanks all of our Children’s Book Week special storytellers and their places of business, said librarian Prentis Boatwright.

“We really appreciate you and your commitment to our schools!” she said.

This year the school stretched out Children’s Book Week for an entire week with adult readers coming in each day to the library to read to children. Adult readers are good examples to the children and demonstrate good citizenship and community involvement as well as willingness to show children appreciation.
