In honor of 529 college savings day, The UFund Start U Reading program came to the Brookline Public Library Thursday May 29 bringing a special guest – Elmo! Children were treated to a special story time as they read a book about what they could be when they grew up. Program director Sherri Galego demonstrated how it's important to encourage curiosity and engage learning at this young age. After the book was read, children enjoyed a special visit with the lovable Elmo!
