As part of the summer reading program “Every Hero has a Story”, the Prentiss and Bassfield public libraries invited local heroes to speak with the children participating.

Dr. David Cloyd, Casey Ward, Mayor Charley Dumas, and Firefighter Pete Stephens all spoke to the children in Prentiss about their area of expertise.

After sharing a cake with their local heroes, the children were given  a tour of the fire truck, followed by a chance to cool-off under the hose.
