Week 4–Summer Reading Activities

Douglass Public Library Posted on by

The library buzzed with activities this week! Participants learned about amphibians, made nature suncatchers, built blanket forts, and created garden wands. See the photo drop of our busy week below. More photographs can be found on the Douglass Public Library Facebook Page. A big thank you to Bailey and Emma from the Great Plains Nature Center for the amphibian information.

Bailey and Emma brought a salamander friend for the presentation.

Amazing suncatchers!

Fort building, and book reading…what a great combination!

Glittery garden wands!

July Book Displays

Our featured author of the month is is Cormac McCarthy. Although McCarthy remained in obscurity until late in his career, he is considered a key figure in modern American fiction. His novels are known for their cryptic rendering of themes such as violence, death, and redemption. Keep in mind that some of McCarthy’s books, as well as many other books, are part of the Sunflower E-books collection and can be read using the free Libby app. The library staff can provide more information about using Libby. The kids display continues our Summer Reading adventure theme and invites kiddos to read about rafting and water adventures. The adult display features book titles relating to the upcoming Summer Olympic Games. Recently added adult non-fiction books are displayed on our “New and True” bookcase. Stop by and check out a book!
