Staff Spotlight

Reader Recommendation The Kissing Hand

by Audrey Penn "This is a heartwarming story about separation kids may have when starting school or summer camp. It shows the love moms and dads give when they are not with their child.

It gives them the reassurance of their love always."

Beverly, Programming Coordinator for Argenta Branch Youth Services
