District Librarian Kerrin Erhard began her presentation of the Boothbay Region High School Donor Book Awards on June 9 during the annual Awards Night by quoting Donalyn Miller: “Reading changes your life. Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time. Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education.”

“It is my pleasure to present the Frances D. Aley Donor Book Awards,” said Erhard. “It is because of the generosity of our community that we are able to give out these awards every year. We give thanks to the many donors who contributed to this year’s program. With each book given to a student, a book is also added to our library collection. To receive a donor book is to be recognized for excellence in academic achievement.”
