Books being presented to Columbiana County libraries

LISBON — Columbiana County Farm Bureau recently presented copies of the award-winning children’s book, “Fantastic Farm Machines” by Cris Peterson, to the Lepper Library of Lisbon and to the Bookmobile.

The presentation was made by Gloria Mathews and Rhonda Farmer, co-chairman of the Farm Bureau’s Promotion and Education Committee. Other Columbiana County libraries receiving copies will be Columbiana, East Palestine, Leetonia, Salem, Wellsville and East Liverpool.

The book features photographs by David Lundquist of 12 big pieces of farm equipment with explanations of how the equipment is used in the day-to-day business of growing and harvesting crops.

Peterson was given the Ohio Farm Bureau’s Award for Children’s Literature at its annual meeting last November.
