We invite kids grades one through six to join Miss Angela and the library staff for one more All Together Now Summer Reading Camp at the library. We will have more games, activities, and reading goals with a grand prize of a bike! Who doesn’t want to win a prize for reading books?? What if you can’t make it every day? That is ok! We’re glad to see you as often as you are able to make it.
We also invite our Story Hour kiddos to join us on Friday July 14 for their very own ALL TOGETHER NOW summer reading story hour from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. We welcome you to join us. We’ll resume Story Hour in September.
The next book club will meet next on August 1, 2023 at 10 a.m. We’re reading Little Fires Everywhere, A Novel by Celeste Ng. A brief description reads, “In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter, Pearl, and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs. Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.” Stop by the library to get your copy today!
