FARGO — The Fargo Public Library has launched a new service aimed at increasing the public’s access to books and reading.

The program called “Read & Share” will repurpose gently used books that were previously in the library’s collection or have been donated to the library.

These books will be available at partner organizations and community engagement events, according to a news release.

Fargo Cass Public Health, 1240 25th St. S. is the first partner organization to host “Read & Share.”

Books will be available in the clinic waiting room for people to browse and take home after their visit. All books in the “Read & Share” service are available to read, return, share or keep.

For more information about “Read & Share," contact Library Collections Manager Jenilee Kanenwisher at 701-241-8123.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
