Wrangell’s Irene Ingle Public Library has for at least the past 10 years received an annual federal gra...
“Why should the kids have all the fun?” was a significant motivating factor for the Irene Ingle Public Library’s first-ever winter reading program for grown-ups, which wrapped up in March after 11 weeks of page-turning.
