After being a staple in the lives of Algoma children for the last 17 years, the Kewaunee County Wisconsin Bookworms are heading south. Beginning this school year, the group will share their love of reading with 4K classrooms in the Kewaunee School District. The program distributes seven  books and bags for the students to read together during the course of the school year. Bookworm volunteer Janice Gilbertson says it is great to see the impact the program has had on children, especially those who still remember her seventeen years later.

The Kewaunee County Wisconsin Bookworms recently received a $1,000 donation for the program, which relies almost entirely on private donors for support.
