Above: Students and parents peruse the book selection during the Title 1 Family Night and Book Swap event Tuesday night at Lehighton Area Elementary Center. The event gave students a chance to bring in their own books for someone else to take, while building a new collection themselves. The book swap, organizers said, is designed to promote literacy and a love of reading within students and families.
