Between beads strung and Mother’s Day-themed storybooks heard, Alexander Lomakin, 8, and Belie Lake, 5 (pictured with Mislal Andom, Belie’s mom) traded tales of how moms are celebrated in their first countries of Russia and Eritrea, as part of Saturday’s Parents and Communities for Kids (PACK) “booktivities” at the main public library. “Rather than parents just dropping kids off, this gives families an hour out together with books,” said librarian Sharon Lovett of the twice-monthly book club’s design and aim. Next fall, thanks to another year’s funding from the Wallace and the Community foundations, book-clubbers will read on in another location at the new Hill branch Wilson Library.
