A CHECK TO FUND the Booster Books Program at the
Sidney Memorial Public Library is presented by Carol
Allen, representing the United Way of Sidney (l.), to Roz
Connor, library director (c.) and Linda Shea (r.), children’s
librarian.

SIDNEY - The Sidney Memorial Public Library is once again having the Booster Books Program for Sidney School District residents who -are 3 or 4 years old. Once registered, each child receives a new book in the mail to keep every other month throughout the 2010-2011 school year. Registration forms are in the library or on the library web site at www.SidneyLibrary.org.

By reading with your young child, you are giving your child a boost towards a successful education. Many studies have demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between access to books in the home and early literacy

Each Sidney child that is registered-will receive five books in the mail during the 2010-2011 school year. For more information call the Sidney Library at 563-1200.

The Sidney United Way has generously agreed to fund this worthwhile project. With your help, United Way is able to assist their fifteen member agencies as well as other worthwhile programs in the community such as Sidney Food Bank and Operation Merry Christmas. You can make a donation to this year's United Way campaign online at www.sidneyunitedway.org or mail a check to Sidney United Way, PO Box 14 Sidney, NY 13838
