On Thursday, June 3, the Friends of the Ventress Memorial Library gathered to honor Sheila Zani for all she has done for the library. The celebration was marked with pizza and cake(!) as well as a Massachusetts Senate citation recognizing her contributions to the Ventress Memorial Library provided by Senator Patrick Oโ€™Connor. She has served as a tireless, cheerful, and invaluable volunteer for at least 35 years with the Friends of the Ventress Memorial Library, both as a member and an officer, and also as Treasurer of the Friends of Ventress Memorial Library Building Trust for 25 years. Her decades of exemplary dedication to Marshfieldโ€™s public library have earned her the deepest gratitude and highest respect of her community.

The "summer slide" refers to the learning loss children can experience over summer break, where students can lose up to two months of reading progress. To keep skills sharp, encourage just 15-20 minutes of daily reading, mix in audiobooks, and utilize Ventress Memorial Library summer reading programs. Drop by the Friends Book Shop to pick up everything you need to encourage your children to keep reading over the summer months.
