The Albuquerque Journal in New Mexico recently reported about a fundraiser Hedy Udkovich-Stern, New Mexico School of the Deaf’s librarian participated at Borders book store in Santa Fe, NM. “The Borders fund-raiser will help the students decide which books they want … and to get a sense of how important and lasting the habit of reading is,” she said. Udkovich-Stern, who moved with her husband, Ronald Stern, the school’s new superintendent, from California this year, said she wants to embellish the library with American Sign Language storytelling and literary discussion groups. “I am also hoping for more books within the residential units so that reading happens 24 hours a day.”
