Atlanta-Fulton Public Library Systems Northside Library patrons had a wonderful surprise when Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal recently stopped by to read to the branchs youngest patrons during Toddler Storytime. The children enjoyed the story Boomers Big Day and even got to see a service dog during the First Ladys visit.

Deals visit was during the Library Systems Summer Reading Program, which encourages people of all ages to read 10 books (15 for our younger patrons) during the summer months. The program also helps ease the summer slump many students experience when they are away from school, teachers and homework assignments and is geared toward keeping minds active and engaged.
