Library Happenings

Library Director Robert Waldman and Liz Reisz, coordinator of library media services for the York School Department, present a hiking boot to Lee Englund, who is this year's winner of the York Reads drawing. The prize of a pair of hiking boots from Timberland perfectly fit this year's selection, "A Walk in the Woods," by Bill Bryson. In choosing the title, a humorous account of Bryson's attempt to hike the Appalachian Trail, Waldman said, "We wanted to reach the broadest audience possible." Next year, Reisz said, the committee is looking into choosing a children's book so "people of all ages can enjoy it and appreciate it." This is the library's third year of getting the community reading through York Reads.
