Special delivery


During March, Romulus Community Schools hosted the Book Mobile for the second time, visiting students around Romulus and Inkster. The Book Mobile and a team of reading specialists delivered more than 200 books to students and adults to promote reading at home. The books were for readers of all ages, including adults. “Our staff got a huge, positive response about the delivery of books and snacks. Reading is a fundamental part of learning; the more they read, the better learner they will become,” said Karensa Smith, who has served as district director of grants and curriculum for more than four years. “We wanted to encourage students to always have a physical book in their hands. The teamwork in our school district made this voyage of the Book Mobile possible,” she added. Those who may have missed the Book Mobile, can catch it again on July 23.  By Roderick Peterson Jr.
