On Friday, April 21st, a group of members from the Whitewater Alpha Gamma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International Society for Key Women Educators met to sort through dozens of crates of used books to put into three Little Libraries in the area. The local chapter manages: the Depot Museum, Starin Park and Wright’s Trailer park Little Libraries. Books are collected from donors throughout the year and categorized by age level and put out in the Little Library boxes. There are books for primary elementary children, middle aged children and high school through adult levels. Anyone is welcome to take a book and leave a book and they are free to keep any book they really enjoy. Those three Little Libraries are maintained from May through October.
The Alpha Gamma Chapter has been sponsoring this program for 10 years, with the goal, “If you give a child a book, they might just keep on reading!”
The Chapter is celebrating its 60th year of service with a Diamond anniversary this year. The current officers are: Lori Heidenreich, President; Linda Jentzsch, Vice President; Mary Kenne, Recording Secretary and Dee Simon, Treasurer.
