Montgomery County councilmember Will Jawando had a special guest during his Virtual Storytime on Thursday morning. Olympic gold medal gymnast Dominique Dawes and owner of the Dominique Dawes Gymnastic Academy in Clarksburg joined Jawando in reading uplifting books to viewers. Dawes is a Silver Spring native.
Jawando committed to doing the virtual storytime for the community since libraries closed due to COVID-19.
Two inspiring books – Grace Goes to Washington by Kelly DiPucchio and LeUyen Pham, and Oh, the Places You’ll Go ! by Dr. Seuss – were read.
