Dalton kids say, build us a bookstore!

If you’re worried that kids aren’t reading enough these days—well, you’re probably right. But this news item from the town of Dalton, in Northern Georgia, is an encouraging exception.

The students in Mrs. Reynold’s third-grade class at Westwood Elementary school are writing letters to Books-A-Million asking them to build a store in Dalton. It started with Charlie McClurgs, whose mother refused to drive him to the Books-A-Million in Chattanooga “due to the late hour and the time it would take to get there.” She suggested the boy write a letter asking for a closer location.

Kind of sad that the world’s carpet capital doesn’t have a bookstore! Let’s hope this letter campaign gives Books-A-Million some ideas.

    There are no bookstores in this county, either. I suggest the kids visit their library.

  2. I do agree – They are acknowledged to work with your body in such a highly effective manner that it is only the poor cholesterol which gets removed coming from the body without having any type of impact on good cholesterol or maybe High-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
