MARYVILLE – To highlight Library Lovers’ Month, state Rep. Katie Stuart, D-Edwardsville, recently visited the Maryville Community Library for Children’s Storytime.

“As a former teacher and a mother of two, I know from personal experience that reading to our kids helps to foster their imaginations and increase their curiosity, and it is a great way for parents to bond with their children,” said Stuart. “I encourage families with young children to take the time to read to their kids as often as possible.”
