Our first meeting of the 2023-2024 school year will be Wednesday, September 13, 2023.  It will be at the Rolette School Library at 5:00 P.M.  It will be a potluck, so bring your favorite dish to share.

The Chautauqua Literacy Chapter sponsored a book drive during the month of February.  We call this event "Keep Them Reading".  There were 736 books collected during this event.  These books were then donated to Rolette County Public Health.  Rolette County Public Health will now be distributing these books to anyone between the ages of 0-21 as they come in for their visits.  This connection to get books into the hands of our children and youth is so important.  We are grateful to have this connection in the field of literacy.  

  We are currently holding enrollment and hope that the following information will be helpful.
