Early literacy is essential to help a child succeed. Ferst Readers of Carroll County plays an essential role in getting books in the hands of children before they ever start school. Now through March 18, Ferst Readers is raising funds through its Fourth Annual Book Character Contest. Please visit Bring a Book to Life Character Contest to view the contestants -- including Glanton-Hindsman Elementary School Principal Cecelia Brown and Central Elementary School Principal Marla Turpin. Each vote is $10, but you can also show your support through liking and sharing posts encouraging others to donate.
