Our featured author of the month is Giles A. Lutz a/k/a Wade Everett and Hunter Ingram (1910-1982). For many years Lutz wrote short stories about the American West. In the mid-1950s he made the transition to full-length western novels. The kids display invites kiddos to celebrate National Happy Cat month. The adult display features never or hardly ever checked out books. If you check out a book from this collection, we’d like your opinion about whether it’s a “goner” or a “keeper”. Recently added adult non-fiction books are displayed on our “New and True” bookcase. Stop by and check out a book!
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month
This year is the 30th Anniversary of “Library Card Sign-Up Month” which was launched in 1987 and is observed throughout the nation. Library cards are free and allow cardholders free access to our library’s collection of books, materials, programming, and other services. Anyone who is age 8 and older may apply for a card. Children ages 8-17 must be accompanied by an adult to apply for and receive a library card. FUN FACT: 61% of Americans 16 and older say they have a library card for a public library. If you or your child are part of the 39% who do not have a library card, don’t miss out on the free opportunities the Douglass Public Library offers. Stop by and get a library card!
