Edible Book Contest

F & V members Jean Bush, Cheryl Kelchner, and Tina Moschella were recognized for their contributions to the Ocean City Free Public Library’s Edible Book contest for their entries. They won the categories for “Most Appetizing” (Brownie Points), “Funniest” (Half-Broke Horses), and “Best Visual Presentation” (To Kill A Mockingbird).

Read Across America

  • Here principal, Cathleen Smith, accepts our donation of Read Across America books from F&V member, Kathleen Woodring
  • This year’s selections for preschoolers through third grade.
The Friends and Volunteers of the Ocean City Free Public Library continued the long-standing tradition of gifting each OC Primary School student with a book in celebration of Read Across America Day. Although we are disappointed that we can not be guest readers in classrooms this year, we are pleased to provide an age appropriate book for every student from preschool to third grade. Just over 300 books were purchased and gifted this year. Due to our literacy partnership with Scholastic, seventy free children’s books were also included with our delivery.
