The Journal reports on Read-A-Palooza, a lively event held at Four Seasons Books in Shepherdstown, aimed at promoting literacy among local youth through Read Aloud West Virginia. The initiative, rejuvenated post-pandemic, focuses on enhancing reading skills by providing engaging books to students in area schools, such as Orchard View Intermediate. With the involvement of community volunteers and librarians, this grassroots effort emphasizes the importance of storytelling while successfully attracting a larger turnout than expected, reinforcing support for educational programs that benefit children across the region.
