KOUNTZE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL BENEFITS FROM DONATIONS OF NEW NON-FICTION BOOKS! Several years ago a parent responded to an End of the Summer Reading Program Survey and stated there was a real need for quality non-fiction books for young readers. In an effort to stimulate non-fiction reading, the Friends of Kountze Public Library responded, solicited grant funding, and were successful. The Friends tapped Entergy, the Helen Bell Charitable Trust through Hancock Whitney Wealth Management, and free book programs through Paperpie's Literacy for a Lifetime and Scholastic. Bulletin board materials, teacher resources, and reading incentive puzzle-book prizes were acquired in addition to the hardbound books.
Librarian Ms. Johnson and Friend Nancy discuss the project with youth who were most enthusiastic!

SILSBEE PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVES BOOK DONATION- Kountze Public Library's Friend President Mary Catherine (Cathy) Johnston shares books with Silbee's Librarian Cathy Johnson. The donation was primarily funded from an Entergy grant to expand non-fiction reading across Hardin County schools. Additional funds were received through a Literacy for a Lifetime free book match for half of the order and the Helen Bell Charitable Trust managed by Hancock Whitney. Some teaching non-fiction teaching resources and bulletin board materials were shared with Silsbee Elementary.
