The Kenton County Public Library Foundation is continuing its annual tradition of providing free books and school supplies to every kindergarten student in Kenton County.
The effort coincides with National Library Sign Up Month in September.
The foundation, which has been distributing books for at least 10 years, recently visited Glenn O. Swing Elementary in Covington to distribute books and engage the children in learning activities as part of the program.
“Having books at home has benefited children in many ways,” Lise Tewes, the library’s school services coordinator, said in a press release. “Studies show that simply having a home library boosts children’s academic achievement, vocabulary growth and focus.”
