"All of us can think of a book... that we hope none of our children have taken off the shelf. But if I have the right to remove that book from the shelf -that work I abhor- then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us."

—Katherine Paterson

 

NextGeneration (5th thru 8th graders)

Next Generation (PNG) is offered to 5th thru 8th grade students, with priority given to Centralia Regional Library District card holders. PNG is sponsored by Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White, to give students the opportunity to experience new technologies, explore life skills, and have fun at the library. Funding for this grant project was awarded from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
