TOWN HALL Town Manager Jayne Wellman hosted the latest episode of Reading Between the Lines, the podcast produced by Town Hall and RCTV, devoted to changes in the town's rubbish and recycling collection program. It is the newest installment of a series Wellman uses to keep residents current on town business.
Town Hall also promoted the Let Grow Summer Independence Challenge, a free community program organizers say is coming to Reading this summer that encourages children to take on small independent tasks, such as walking to a store or park without an adult.
