Spilled Ink – The Book Club for the Rest of Us
Sign up, read ten books, and win prizes! A great way for grown-ups to beat the winter blues.
One Book, One City for Kids
One Book, One City for Kids is an annual reading program that encourages all 4th graders in the city to read and discuss the same book. The program also strives to encourage a lifelong love of reading among students, to inspire readers to bring story ideas and themes to life through discussion, and to build collaborative ties between public libraries, school libraries, and area schools. This year the entire city will be reading Special Delivery! by Sue Stauffacher. In this book, ten-year-old Keisha and her family’s animal rescue center face more challenges involving a baby crow in a mailbox and a skunk found in the nearby community garden.
Pre-Reading Classes for Babies
Parents and caregivers are invited to introduce their babies, birth through 18 months, to music, movement, and language in these 30-minute classes designed just for their specific developmental stages. Babies will enjoy hearing a story and learning songs and rhymes. Playtime after enhances the development of social skills.
Adult Computer Class: Basic Internet
This class is designed for those who already have a working knowledge of computers and some experience with using the mouse. This class covers the basics of the Internet and will give participants a better understanding of the technology that is reshaping our world and our community. After taking this class, you’ll feel more comfortable taking advantage of resources on the Internet.
