SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the library at 6pm for a discussion of July’s book\, Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. Head’s up: next month we will read the follow-up\, Olive\, Again. \nSummary: \nWinner of the Pulitzer Prize\, Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition – its conflicts\, its tragedies and joys\, and the endurance it requires. \nAt times stern\, at other times patient\, at times perceptive\, at other times in sad denial\, Olive Kitteridge\, a retired schoolteacher\, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby\, Maine\, and in the world at large\, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child\, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband\, Henry\, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. \nAs the townspeople grapple with their problems\, mild and dire\, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life – sometimes painfully\, but always with ruthless honesty.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of this month’s book We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker. \nSummary \nWalk has never left the coastal California town where he grew up. He may have become the chief of police\, but he’s still trying to heal the old wound of having given the testimony that sent his best friend\, Vincent King\, to prison decades before. Now\, thirty years later\, Vincent is being released. \nDuchess is a thirteen-year-old self-proclaimed outlaw. Her mother\, Star\, grew up with Walk and Vincent. Walk is in overdrive trying to protect them\, but Vincent and Star seem bent on sliding deeper into self-destruction. Star always burned bright\, but recently that light has dimmed\, leaving Duchess to parent not only her mother but her five-year-old brother. At school the other kids make fun of Duchess―her clothes are torn\, her hair a mess. But let them throw their sticks\, because she’ll throw stones. Rules are for other people. She’s just trying to survive and keep her family together. \nA fortysomething-year-old sheriff and a thirteen-year-old girl may not seem to have a lot in common. But they both have come to expect that people will disappoint you\, loved ones will leave you\, and if you open your heart it will be broken. So when trouble arrives with Vincent King\, Walk and Duchess find they will be unable to do anything but usher it in\, arms wide closed. \nChris Whitaker has written an extraordinary novel about people who deserve so much more than life serves them. At times devastating\, with flashes of humor and hope throughout\, it is ultimately an inspiring tale of how the human spirit prevails and how\, in the end\, love―in all its different guises―wins.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of this month’s book Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah. \nSummary \nAfter the loss of her mother and her own battle with breast cancer\, Joanna Teale returns to her graduate research on nesting birds in rural Illinois\, determined to prove that her recent hardships have not broken her. She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn\, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises. \nThe girl calls herself Ursa\, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the child’s home situation\, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stay—just until she learns more about Ursa’s past. \nJo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor\, Gabriel Nash\, to solve the mystery of the charming child. But the more time they spend together\, the more questions they have. How does a young girl not only read but understand Shakespeare? Why do good things keep happening in her presence? And why aren’t Jo and Gabe checking the missing children’s website anymore? \nThough the three have formed an incredible bond\, they know difficult choices must be made. As the summer nears an end and Ursa gets closer to her fifth miracle\, her dangerous past closes in. When it finally catches up to them\, all of their painful secrets will be forced into the open\, and their fates will be left to the stars. (via goodreads)

SUMMARY:Collaborative Summer Reading Week 5: Wool Friendship Bracelets
DESCRIPTION:Yesterday was our last Wednesday collaboration with Clymer – French Creek Free Library\, and our friend Molly came back to read to us again\, to show us a few different kinds of dyed wool\, and teach us how to make friendship bracelets. These bracelets require teamwork and lots of twisting\, so it’s best to grab a friend! \n\n\n\n\nMany thanks go to Molly Brown\, educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension\, for teaching us so many amazing things this summer! And even more thanks to Darlene from Clymer for joining forces with us for Summer Reading this year! We’ve learned a lot and had a blast\, so we can’t wait to see what happens next summer! \n\n\n\nRemember\, there are still lots of activities and crafts to come as we continue with Summer Reading through the end of August. Stay tuned here on Facebook to see what’s coming up. If you haven’t had a chance to come in and add your hours yet\, or get a prize\, or if you’ve just run out of books\, come to the library and we’ll help you out!

SUMMARY:Collaborative Summer Reading Week 1: Bat Boxes
DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday kicked off our Summer Reading program\, and was our first time collaborating with Darlene at the Clymer-French Creek Free Library.  The bat box extravaganza was a huge success!  We had a great time learning about bats and bat boxes\, their role in our environment\, and how we can help bring them back from the brink of extinction. We listened to a story about bats playing baseball\, and then decorated many lovely new homes to keep our bat friends cozy and warm (thanks to a coat of black paint).\n\n\nMany thanks to Molly Brown from Cornell Cooperative Extension for constructing all 49 bat boxes and for teaching us so much! And thanks to the Community Support Group- Summer Recreation for making this event possible! (Special shout out to Emma for helping us paint all the boxes—someone better make you a Thank You cake! )
