June is a busy
month at Decatur Public Library. We will have programs for all ages: children,
teens and adults. There will be the sign up events for the children’s and teens
Summer Reading Program, Bond movies on adult Free Movie Nights, special story
times, author meet and greets, 3rd Friday Downtown, and much more.
Make sure to check DPL’s website to
stay informed about events and programs your family will enjoy.
June is audio book
month, so the first gauntlet is to listen to an audio book that is read by the author. There are several in our
collection, some as books on CD and some as eAdiobooks from CamelliaNet. The
best thing about an audio book is it leaves your hands free to do other chores
or tasks while still getting to hear a story. If you have to ride the lawn
mower or pull weeds the time will go much faster if you are listening to a good
story at the same time. Just make sure for the challenge, the narrator is also
the author of the book.
The second
gauntlet is an either/or author choice.
You can either read Larry McMurtry or Louis L’Amour. These two authors are known for their
westerns, but they actually have books in several genres. Between the two of
them they are represented in non-fiction, fiction, mystery, and of course westerns.
L’Amour has a book of poetry and short story collections that cover crime and adventure.
McMurtry has several books of essays and memoirs. They are also both
represented in our audio book collections.
Happy Reading and
Listening!
