We want you to be part of The BIG READ! Interesting programs, book discussions, and displays are taking place at the library for both adults and children revolving around this year’s selected book, My Antonia. Stop by the library for a free copy of the book to read and share!
A book discussion led by head librarian Alissa Tipton will take place Thursday evening, March 11th at 6:30 PM and on Wednesday, March 17th, at 10:30 AM. Then on Thursday, March 18th at 6:30 PM, Mrs. Susan Maurer will present a fascinating program on pioneer foods. Children will enjoy a pioneer craft and story on Saturday morning, March 20th at 10:30 AM. Don’t miss a beautiful and interesting pioneer living display by Marshall’s Antique Study Club, which is in the display cases now through the end of the month. There is even a word search, crossword puzzle and trivia quiz about the novel that will earn you a small prize. Join the fun!
