Our 2017 Reading Challenge

…celebrates 100 years of books from 1917 ~ 2017. Each month we will highlight a different decade on our display rack. The book selection will include titles published in those years or books about world events in that time period.

The challenge will cover books either published or written about world events that occured between 1917 and 2017.

Readers have two options:

100 Books: There books are of the reader’s choice. Reading from our selected list in snot necessary, but certainly can be done.

12 Books: Readers can chose to read one of our selected books per month throughout 2017.

We will keep a reading record at the Library to help readers reach goals.

Our Book Sale Cart is full and we have more books waiting their turn on the cart.

Stop in to see for yourself what we have available, for only ten cents each!! 

That deal is nearly a steal! See you soon.

We also have a basket of old magazines to give away inside the Library.
