Reading is Fundamental

We did NOT make Amazon's top ten list for best read cities.  OK, it is about Amazon purchases and not the Pollard Library, but still…
Lowell needs to be a "Learning City" and that means not only a high level of literacy, but a high level, of reeading.

Those folks down County made the list.  We need to do better next year.  Let's get out and encourage more reading.  It doesn't have to be great literature or heavy policy wonk stuff.  Reading "trash" is reading, and fun for some.  Reading to kids counts.

UPDATE:  Fair shot from Greg re my spelling.  The second time I scanned it I found it.  I ran into Greg at the Mambo Grill yesterday at noontime and was talking with him about religious groups and voting.  Thanks, Greg.

Regards  —  Cliff

  4. Cliff, unless we're going to wade through the Merrimack breathing through straw tubes, let's shelve the reeding idea.

    Instead, let's conquer spelling first. ;-)

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
