Mount Vernon Exploratory School student council member Drew Grabau unloads a box of books donated to Clermont DIP Library.
Fifth-grader Heartley Twiggs loves to read fiction books and thinks kids are better off when they read books they enjoy. “It just helps you build a better vocabulary and a better imagination,” Heartley said. Since February, Heartley and the other student council members at Mount Vernon Exploratory School have been encouraging their classmates to donate books to the Historic Clermont DIP Library so other children will be able to find good books, too.
