Meet Eele, a licensed therapy dog, and her human, Joan. Read to Eele, tell her a story, or just give her belly a rub. Reading to a dog is a low-pressure way for children to practice their reading skills, and fun besides! A parent or legal guardian must sign a permission form before children read with Eele. Stop by the desk in the children's room to complete the form and sign up for a turn with Eele.

Join library staff for stories, songs, and games, followed by crafts and other activities for the whole family.

Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film is based on S.E. Hinton’s classic and compelling novel The Outsiders. Set in 1950s Tulsa, Oklahoma, the story follows Ponyboy and his friends, 'the Greasers' who are looked down on by the "Soc's" or Socials, rich kids from the sweet side of the tracks. Ponyboy likes 'Soc' Cherry (a bit of an outsider herself) but it seems hopeless -- the lines are drawn -- and then he gets into bad trouble. There are moments of humor, callousness, cruelty, heroism and humanity, heartfelt drama in a challenging story that still rings true.

Story time isn't happening this morning, but stop by any time between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m. this afternoon for Crafting Around the World. Enjoy a family craft adventure together.

R.A.D.A. stands for 'Reading. Awareness. Dialogue. Action'. Join this One Book summer book group that, in three meetings over the summer, undertakes a thoughtful reading of The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel WIlkerson.

RADA Book Group highlights issues impacting society, such as race and immigration, in a safe space where people can talk openly with respect and compassion in hopes of raising social consciousness; exchanging ideas, understanding, and experiences; and discussing actions individuals and communities can take to address problems.
