The Chippewa Falls Parks and Recreation Department hosted the 10th Annual “Run for the Lights” 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Walk on Saturday at Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls.
Two women from Chippewa Falls have been globe-trotting, while making a difference, in rural South America, East Africa and North America. Kim Covill and her niece Maggie Covill decided more than a decade ago that they wanted to build little libraries in some of the poorest places on the planet. Now their organization, From Books to Brilliance (FBTB), has more than a dozen small, rural libraries up and running.
