• Toronto Public Library named winner of national literacy contest (koamnewsnow.com) — Toronto’s own public library has just been named one of three national winners in the “Be Mighty for Your Library” youth literacy challenge, standing out among libraries in eight states. Local kids helped secure the honor by completing reading activities, writing nearly 600 poems, and boosting library card sign-ups and event attendance. It’s a big national spotlight on a very small-town library.
