As part of our Dive Into
Reading @ Your Library
Summer Reading Program
the Nottoway County
Public Library System
invited children from
kindergarten thru 8th
grade to participate in The
Summer Reading
Challenge. Readers
selected their weekly goal
from one of five
categories: Whalers,
Sharks, Dolphins, Starfish
or Goldfish.
The top ten readers were
awarded “prize pails” that
included a gift pass to any
of the four Children’s
Museum of Richmond
locations along with books
and other surprises. The
top readers read a total of
550 books combined! The
total number of children
participating in the
reading challenge was 85.
We congratulate our
winners and a great job
was done by all the
challenge readers.
Our weekly “Imagination
Works” story times
incorporated the Dive Into
Reading theme for the
summer. We invite all
children to join us as
continue to offer the
“Imagination Works”
program throughout the
year.

Remaking Virginia:
Transformation through
Emancipation
Monday, July 6, 2015
through Saturday,
August 26, 2016
9 am to 5 pm
Lobby and Exhibition Hall

Evan as the Civil War was
still being fought, the status
of almost a half-million
African Americans in
Virginia began to change.
No longer were they
someone else’s property—
they were free. They
anticipated the promise of
change from their former
status as slaves: the
promises of education,
political participation, and
full citizenship. Yet, in
their struggle to achieve
these goals, freedmen and
freedwomen faced the
hostility of their former
masters and the society that
had long benefitted from
their labor. Union troops
and U.S. government
officials reconstructing the
Southern states were often
indifferent. What
challenges did African
Americans face in their
struggle to achieve what
they believed freedom
would bring them? What
obstacles blocked their
efforts to gain citizenship.
This exhibition offers a
look at the changing world
Virginians faced during
Reconstruction. Radio One
is the exclusive sponsor for
Remaking Virginia.

News and Events Donna Gholson Taylor
is the featured artist for
August at the Crewe
Public Library. Donna
has always been
interested in art. In 2005,
she found time to pursue
her interest and began
painting.
A multi-talented artist,
she enjoys working with
pastels, charcoal, acrylics,
and her favorite:
watercolor painting.
Donna is also an
accomplished
photographer.
She is a member of
Central Virginia Arts,
Longwood Center for
Visual Arts, and the
Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts, and a past
member of the Virginia
Watercolor Society.
Donna says she’s been
active in these
organizations because
they promote arts in our
area.
This talented artist has
exhibited in many
galleries such as the
Virginia Museum of Fine
Arts Studio School,
Hampden-Sydney
Atkinson Museum, and
the Tavern on the James
in Scottsville.
Donna’s work will be on
