The Reading Railroad stopped at Lincoln College's Davidson-Schaffer Gymnasium on April 30, and children ages 3-7 came to enjoy a day of fun-filled reading activities. Attendees had the opportunity to make their own bookmarks, write their own stories and listen to classics such as "The Cat in the Hat."
