Third-grader, Nick Dolan, Reports on MAPL

In October, eight-year-old Nick Dolan and his fellow third-graders were asked to do a project on a building in their community.  Nick chose the library!  A library user since he was very small, Nick thought it would be interesting to find out more about us.  Nick and his mom came in one afternoon after school to interview me, and I shared some old newspaper articles containing historical information.  I also answered a bunch of questions that Nick had obviously considered thoughtfully. 

The resulting paper gained Nick an A, as well as some fans here at the library.  If you'd like to read it, you can do so on your next visit -- it is posted on the bulletin board next to the Circulation desk.

A big thanks to Nick for spreading the word about all that we offer here at MAPL!
