The Pawling Free Library’s news team has struck again! They have news stories and everything!

In the PFL News Team kids go to different programs and write about them. At every class they write an article. They then go to Pawling Public Radio where they record their stories to put on the radio. The stories will also be in the newspaper on the library’s Web site.

Madeline said, “I really like it even though when we walk to the radio station I am afraid I might bet stung by a bee.”

Each week the kids will put out a story. Stay tuned on the Pawling Public Radio at 101.7!

Youngsters gather together every Thursday to write about all of the fun events going on at the library.

First kids go to programs. They choose what programs they want to write about. They take a field trip to Pawling Public Radio. They record their stories and then all of Pawling hears it. Some kids are nervous on their first try but they get used to it. It is a lot of fun!
