Lackawanna County Commissioner Bill Gaughan, left, spoke last week at the relaunch of the Reach Out and Read program at The Wright Center for Community Health, 501 S. Washington Ave., Scranton. The county initiative, under the direction of the Wright Center’s Dr. Manju Thomas and Sandie Lamanna, right, chairwoman of the county Literacy Committee, is in collaboration with the county Department of Human Services. Research has shown that reading is not just one of the most important skills for a successful life, but an important factor in children’s health as they grow. Reach Out and Read is a nonprofit national program that distributes books to children during their regular pediatric visits.
