Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

More community involvement in education

Nashua Public Library awards summer readersNashua Telegraph photo.

"Nashua honors winners in summer reading program" from the Nashua (NH) Telegraph. From the article:

The Nashua School District librarians and guests honored students for taking time during summer vacation to read for pleasure. Sitting cross-legged on the floor and surrounded by parents, grandparents, siblings and school librarians, the young readers gathered for the presentations.

Joan Poltack, head librarian for the Nashua School District, orchestrated the event and thanked everyone for taking part in the second annual “Open the Gate to Reading” summer program.“We love to hear about all the wonderful books that you are reading,” said Poltack. “And we are proud of you for taking advantage of summer vacation to read. Keep turning those pages and using your imagination.” The Nashua School District librarians and the Nashua Public Library were co-sponsors of the program with The Telegraph.
