Library

Flora-Monroe Township

The ninth annual Teen Read Week celebration ends this Saturday. This year's theme is "Get Active at your Library." We are celebrating with hundreds of other libraries, schools and bookstores across the country that are encouraging young adults to read for the fun of it. This year's theme encourages teens to use library resources to lead an active life.

The library has all kinds of Teen Read Week related books including college information, scholarship and grant resources, athlete biographies, public access computers, exercise videos, and much more. The library also has ideas available on how to celebrate teens reading at home. Look for special displays dedicated to young adults and "Get Active at your Library" during Teen Read Week!

The next Saturday Morning Book Discussion Group will critique "Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind" by Ann B. Ross. "Miss Julia" is fast-paced, funny and filled with homespun appeal that offers an interesting take on gender, race, and family in the South. The group will meet Oct. 21. New members are always welcome.

The theme of the next storytime is "Fall Leaves." Storytime is Tuesday mornings at 10 a.m.

Hear stories 24 hours a day on the library's Dial-a-Story phone line, 967-3814.
