Gift Suggestion: Books!
When the opportunity to give a gift presents itself, KNEA members suggest you give the gift of books.
The KNEA Reading Circle Catalog is a great resource. For over 75 years, Reading Circle members have reviewed newly published books and recommended the best to Kansas school and public libraries. The Reading Circle Catalog also includes a list of Kansas titles and authors and William Allen White titles.
