Do you want your children to have a framework of positive posi-tive experiences and personal person-al qualities they need to grow up healthy, caring and responsible? re-sponsible?

Springville Reads to introduce 2005 books The Springville Reads Committee will launch "Springville Reads 2005" at a fun program for readers of all ages on Monday, Mar. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Springville High School auditorium. All citizens are invited to attend. Throughout this year Springville citizens are encouraged encour-aged to read one or more of the following books: - "Bellwether" (adult fiction) by Connie Willis, who slyly lampoons society's herd mentality as she weaves the tale of a statistician and a scientist whose collaboration produces pro-duces hilarious results. - "The Girls" (4th grade and up) by Amy Goldman Koss, a suspenseful and realistic portrayal of a popular middle school clique's devolution unfolds through six narrators. - "Stephanies Ponytail" (ages 4 and up) by Robert Mun-sch, Mun-sch, in which a little girl who is determined to strike a blow for nonconformity manages to arrive at school every day with a hairdo more outrageous than the day before. And each time, the cast of copycats grows and grows-until the day she threatens to shave her head! Together these books were selected to spark discussion about fads and why we are so inclined to take our clues from others. Is this a good or bad thing? What impact does it have within our families, in organizations and in our community? communi-ty? And how can knowing about this very human behavior behav-ior that we all exhibit to one degree or another help us make good choices? Copies of these books will be available throughout the year at the Springville Library, through Springville schools and for sale at a discounted price at The Read Leaf bookstore. The Springville Reads 2005 Committee is sponsored with a grant from the Springville Arts Council and includes in-cludes representatives from the Springville Library, The Read Leaf bookstore, Springville Sr. High School and Art City Elementary School. the occasion.
