Libraries are magic! We’re celebrating national library card sign-up month with Moreland the Magician. He will keep kids (and their caregivers!) laughing and amazed throughout his fast-paced magic program. Please join us for this free event!
Community Read 2018!
Please join us in this year’s community read of Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan: the coming of age story of a young girl moving from Mexico to California, this historical fiction book is inspired by the life experiences of the author’s grandmother. Winner of the Pura Belpré Medal, this story prompts important conversations about race, class and culture—in the past and today.
You may pick up a copy any time during July at the library. Our group discussion will be held on Tuesday, July 31 at 6pm in the Melvin Community Room. Hope to see you there!
This community read is funded by a generous grant from the Bernard Carl and Shirley Myrtle Dee Nash Memorial Fund of the Community Foundation of Tompkins County.
