Summer Reading Program

                Congratulations to the Shounkwiler girls who read the following number of books for the summer reading program at the Museum/Library-Boston 48, Bristol 47 and Birkleigh 22.

Reading opens a whole new world for a reader of any age.   Come see the excellent selection of books/media for all ages at the Russell Library.

Community Responds

                The Russell Museum/Library appreciates the excellent turn out for the Fall Festival breakfast fundraiser. Our services  could not continue without the support of the community.  It was also very gratifying for the turnout of the entire Fall Festival. There were great meat varieties, mini-tractor pull,  the parade and other activities were very well attended.
