Corydon Girl Scout Troop No. Five celebrates National Book Week in November 1960. The girls are standing in front of the Corydon Public Library (now HCPL’s Frederick Porter Griffin Center for Local History and Genealogy) with props they have made reflecting some of their favorite books.
The girls are, left to right: Jean Ann Doolittle, Jill Ann Moss, Ardis Reising, Becky Brown, Becky Shireman, Betty Martin, Janet Conrad, Becky Leffler, and Cindy Robson. Troop leaders were Mrs. Jack Moss and Mrs. Robert Brown.
Librarian of the Corydon Public Library at the time, Muriel White Doolittle, stated that the observance of National Book Week stressed the importance of reading and getting into the practice of being informed early in life.
Celebrate your freedom to read with a book of your choice. HAPPY READING!
