Lorain County Farm Bureau recently donated over 70 copies of the ‘Book of the Year’ to area libraries in the county. They provided a copy of the 2023 Book of the Year, ‘I Love Strawberries!’ by Shannon Anderson to over 70 elementary school libraries (public, private and constellation schools) as well as all of the public libraries in Lorain County.
