Columbia Falls Bookmobile on the road this summer

This summer the Columbia Falls School District is once again sending the Bookmobile throughout the school district to offer free books and food for kids.  The Bookmobile runs through the first week of August.  This program is a literacy project to encourage reading among students and their families throughout the school district during the summer months.   Many research studies show a decline in reading scores among children who don’t read during the summer.  This year’s Bookmobile is generously sponsored by the school district and the Whitefish Community Foundation.  

Encourage everyone to read by finding the bookmobile when it is in your neighborhood.  For questions, contact: Mary Ellen Getts at 892-0996.
