Friends and family welcomed in the New Year by promoting literacy at a young age during the Books With Bharati celebration on Saturday, January 5 at Soundview Cornerstone. The event featured activity packets and coloring fun, story time with Police Service Area 8 commanding officer captain Keiyon S. Ramsey and his fellow police officers, gloves giveaway and a pajama/onesies raffle.
