Words of Thanks

ASHLAND — Thank you to Frank Branham and Kelly Harper for allowing the Catlettsburg Branch of Boyd County Public Library to use the Russell E. Compton Civic Center and Train Museum for our summer reading program “Make a Splash!” this year.

We were both inside and out on the platform, and that gave us more room to do stories, crafts, and games with 15 8- to 12-year-olds.

Lisa Epling, Catlettsburg Branch Manager
