The Book Club meets on the 3rd Tuesday, monthly at 5 PM.
They read a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles. The group is mixed in both age and gender, and discusses books without influence from the library staff. The library provides a list of general discussion questions. Members vote on their reading list in November.

February Reading Log

A Year of Reading (For Everyone!)

Join our year long reading challenge! It’s simple, fun, and available for the WHOLE FAMILY.

1. Grab your log each month (paper copies are available at the library)

2. For every thirty minutes you read, color in a star (or duck when youg get to it!).

3. Reaching a duck means you’ve earned a Pocket Pal! You can claim these through the month by bringing in your log, or collect them all at once at the end of the month.

4. Return your completed log to the library (and collect any pocket pals).

For every:

~270 Minutes: A random Pocket Pal from our capsule machine (May vary by calendar month)

550 Minutes: You earn a letter/color in ROY G BIV.

3000 Minutes (or once per quarter): a FREE BOOK!

6600 Minutes: You’ll have earned all of ROY G BIV! These will become BEADS (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) you can use to make a bookmark or bracelet. We will have 2 Make events. One in August and one in December.

Keeping Up with the Library

I know, I know… It’s been a couple of weeks since I got a blog post up and I am SO SORRY! Between summer reading, scheduling, and trying to take some vacation time, it’s been all-go around the library. BUT, things are slowing down and (hopefully!) I can get back on...
