Lisbon – Lisbon High School Librarian, Judith Lashman, recently received a donation of books from members of the Altrusa International of the Pejepscot Area. Jane Long and Jessica Morrill made the presentation on behalf of the group in the high school library on Thursday, April 29. Altrusa International is a club of diverse individuals dedicated to providing service to communities, focusing on literacy, fellowship and leadership development.

Altrusa donates new books to high schools, middle schools, and vocational schools. “We are delighted to accept the contribution of books for our library,” shares Lashman. “LHS administration, teachers and staff have made a collaborated effort to develop a carefully-crafted Sustained Silent Reading Program. Students can read everyday during an extended Advocacy block. Research shows reading builds comprehension and other skills essential for students to perform well in school and prepares them for successful careers.”
