National News Literacy Week, Feb. 3-7, will put a spotlight on the urgent need to teach students how to find credible information.

The sixth annual event is presented by The News Literacy Project, The E.W. Scripps Company and USA TODAY.

“Today’s bewildering information and content landscape requires careful navigation in order for Americans to be thoughtful news consumers,” said Adam P. Symson - President/CEO, E.W. Scripps Co. “Scripps, its nationwide group of local news stations and our national news outlet Scripps News are proud to help in the effort to educate and equip young people with the skills they need to sift through the barrage and create well-informed opinions.”

Friends of the Wilmington Public Library Donate Books to WIC

Clinton County Health District Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) director Renee Quallen sorts through books for children recently donated to the WIC program by the Friends of the Wilmington Public Library (FOL).

Quallen said the books will be available to enrolled WIC families at the local health department and may also be donated for children and parents to read at home.

WIC provides support and education for pregnant and breastfeeding women; new mothers; and infants, and children up to five years of age.

FOL is a volunteer group that collects, stocks and rotates books that are available at the library for a donation.
