LA Junta Tribune
At the Woodruff Memorial Library in La Junta, this year’s Summer Reading Program is open to all ages; not just the kids.
“Last year when we had to go strictly online everything, we decided on a platform called READsquared,” said Kimberly Gallegos, programming and outreach coordinator for the Woodruff Memorial Library. “This is an online way to track books and reading time. The program actually made it doable for adults to be involved.”
Participants in the library s Summer Reading Program will be divided into four age groups; a pre-kindergarten group for children aged 4 and younger, a kids group for kindergarten through sixth grade, a teen group for grades 7-12, and an adult group for readers 18 and older.
Stephen Brackett is proudly “not cool.” At least that’s what he says though we beg to disagree, because he manages to get an unbelievable amount of cool stuff done for Colorado. Brackett is in constant motion, and where he walks, we’d all be wise to follow.
A graduate of East High School, he gained fame early as part of Flobots, the indie-hip-hop act that had a hit with “Handlebars” and, rather than chase national attention, focused instead on community and getting to work on the activist causes that the act’s members care about much more than clout. Together they launched a nonprofit that eventually became Youth on Record, Colorado’s leading music-education nonprofit.
