Magarin sustained extensive water damage and lost hot water due to the epic snowstorm that hit a few weeks ago. Magarin fears the mold growing on her wet walls will make her young sons sick and that the saggy ceiling in a walk-in closet will collapse.(Lynda M. González / Staff Photographer)
WALC Book Fair Finds New Home at MPEC This Weekend
The Wichita Falls Adult Literacy Council is saying this book fair will have double the books and triple the space of their previous events.
The 21st annual WALC Book Fair is this Thursday through Saturday and it s in a brand new location. For several years the book fairs have been held at the Sikes Lake Center building at Midwestern State University. The room was filled with rows of tables filled with books and just enough space for readers to wander through and find their treasures. This year the Book Fair will be held in the Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall at the MPEC. That means the WALC will have a lot more space to work with so shoppers can spread out and maintain some social distancing as they browse.

Hatch Elementary Schoolâs Young Authors Week, a weeklong series of reading activities, has always strived to encourage students to cherish reading in and out of the classroom. Even as the school continues remote learning this year, the eventâs mission remains the same.

The schoolâs annual âRead-a-thonâ includes several events meant to highlight studentsâ favorite stories, literature and characters. There will be schoolwide Bingo with activities such as reading on the phone or Facetime, recommending a book to a friend and reading in a homemade fort.

Election laws have become a dangerous political flashpoint, as Americans recently learned the hard way. On Tuesday the Supreme Court will hear a potentially landmark case (Brnovich v. DNC) that offers an opportunity to restore the Voting Rights Act to its original purpose.
At issue is Arizonas requirement that voters cast ballots on election day in their assigned precinct and its ban on ballot harvesting by outside groups. A majority of states require in-precinct voting, and 20 or so limit ballot harvesting, which allows third parties to collect ballots in bunches. Both rules are intended to bolster ballot integrity.
