What a great idea!

by at 6:02 pm.

Today, on her blog Jackie tells us that the “ Citywide Parent Council will thank Superintendent Karla Brooks Baehr for her service to the Lowell Public Schools by donating books in her name to individual school libraries across the city.”

The CPC is asking individuals to purchase a book of their choice, at a 20% discount, from our local Barnes & Nobles (151 Merrimack St.); the book will be donated to the Lowell public school of your choice in honor of Dr. Baehr and in appreciation for her years of service to the City.

I telephoned the bookstore, gave them my credit card number and purchased my book. It took about 3 minutes The clerk was extremely helpful and gave me some good suggestions. So next year when students at the Moody School enter their library, there on the shelf will be a new book: The Girl’s Like Spaghetti: Why You Can’t Manage Without Apostrophes!

Thanks Dr. Baehr!

    You’re right, Mimi, this couldn’t have been easier. I chose “The Adventures of Taxi Dog” for our elementary students and “Little Women” for middle schools–both personal favorites.

    It’s not too late to order books as a tribute to Dr. Baehr and to help the Lowell Public Schools. I just called Barnes & Noble and ordered: “Talking like the Rain” - a beautiful book of poems for the elementary schools and two books for middle school: “A Long Way from Chicago” and “A Year Down Yonder.” These look so good, I want to read them myself!
