Montgomery locals Oct. 12, 2016

By Staff | Oct 14, 2016

Am I the only one who thinks that cold weather is the best time of the year to read? I enjoy reading all year round, but there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book, a warm blanket, and a cup of hot cocoa.

The more time goes on, the more scientific studies are showing the health benefits of reading. So grab a book and enjoy some good literature as well as the added physical benefits.

Happy birthday to Sue Palazzo who will be celebrating her big day on October 14th.

Julie Bennett was the winner of this month’s “Check it Out and Get a Chance” drawing at the Montgomery Area Public Library. Congratulations, Julie!
