Anyone can stop by the Hagerstown Jefferson Township Library and pick up a free copy of "Crenshaw," the book we're featuring this year for "Wayne County Reads!"

One of our WCR partners, Hagerstown Jefferson Township Library, had a 3rd grade class from Nettle Creek Elementary visit, and many of the kids picked up a free copy of "Crenshaw." And the library's cat definitely reminds us of someone ;) ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›
