The librarian, Nadia, was very happy with all the books - especially the new ones, which were purchased from their Amazon wish list, said Rotary member Norma Evans, adding: "The librarian says the boys are taken in small groups down to the library for activities and to pick out books weekly." The Rotary planned to bring an additional 50 hardbound books that were donated to the Juvenile Center in Byron last week.
