The Library is gearing up for a
busy fall. We hope you can join us for a few of the many programs and activities
we are offering this September. Book Babies, Story Times, LEGO Hour, and
Bedtime Math’s Crazy 8s Club will be starting back up for the young ones.
Adults get programs from the Library, the Friends of the Library and the
Library Foundation. Events hosted by the
Library include the Adult Reading Challenge Book Club on the 7th, a Lunch
& Learn program all about the River Clay Fine Arts Festival on Saturday,
September 9th, Free Movie Nights on the 14th and 28th,
3rd Friday in Jones Park, and a Lunch & Learn program about
Mildred Nungester Wolfe and the Decatur Arts on Wednesday, the 20th.
We will also have a booth at the River Clay Fine Arts Festival. So stop by and
visit us. On top of that the Friends of the Decatur Public Library will host
classical guitarist Peter Fletcher on Thursday, the 21st. The
Foundation will be sponsoring their annual fundraiser the Shoe Show on the 27th
and all proceeds go to support DPL. For
more information about any of the programs offered by DPL please visit http://decatur.lib.al.us/.
The released tasks for this month
are:
September is a great month for a road trip or journey and that is the
first task for this month. Read any book that is about a road trip or journey
that is from one physical place
to another. To put it into context for this year’s challenge: think about how
the American west was settled. People left the east and traveled by foot, wagon,
train or horse to start over.
The second task of the month is
the Texas Rangers. Read any book
that is about a Texas Ranger, the legendary law enforcement officer –not a
baseball player. The modern day Ranger came into being on September 1, 1935.
The Ranger history goes back to 1823 when Stephen Austin formed a group of men
to range over the territory of Texas where over 600 families had settled.
Happy Reading!
