"Fifth-graders at Minors Lane Elementary wasted no time digging into the piles of new science books stacked in their lab room.


Decoria Curry, 10, flipped through one titled “Not a Drop to Drink: Water for a Thirsty World” by Michael Burgan.

The book was one of 55 science literacy books donated Friday to the school through a partnership between the Louisville Water Co. and CH2M Hill.

“I like science because you get to do experiments,” Decoria said. “This is great so that we can have more books about water for when we want to know stuff about water."
