Book Buddies Update-May 2017

This year’s Zami Liv (Book Buddies) group met to read their books that they are sharing with students in Middletown, Connecticut.  They first met on the lawn of the library but the rain came so they went inside.  The librarian,
Pleurette Mervil, led the discussion.  The six girls and two boys read
beautifully in French, and Pleurette was wonderful in engaging them in
thoughtful answers to her questions.  They were all provided with the new
“Pot Liv” (book bags) created by volunteer seamstresses in Essex to carry the books safely home and dust-free for the week.  There, they will be able to read them again, and read them to family members and neighbors. They will  return the next Saturday ready to write a paragraph about themselves and the book.  They are looking forward to a response from their Book Buddies in Middletown.
