Record-A-Thon at the Boston Unit

The Governor Makes a Visit

Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (pictured above) was a guest reader at the Boston Unit recently. Due to schedule conflicts, the Governor was not able to participate during Record-A-Thon but stopped by the unit a week later to help launch the Boston's Unit's summer reading initiative. He read the beginning of George Washington and the Founding of a Nation, a high school-level biography of the first President that is part of the Boston Public Schools' summer reading list.

Governor Romney is pictured with Tina Raimo, the unit's executive director. The unit is grateful for the governor taking time from his schedule to record this title!

Author Joins the Record-A-Thon

In honor of the Record-A-Thon, author Sophie Powell (pictured right with Studio Director Ted Washburn) recorded her book The Mushroom Man on May 2.

The book was published in 2003 by G.P. Putnam's Sons. This is the first of Sophie's novels and we are grateful she took the time to record her book for RFB&D!
