Decatur Public Library
is gearing up for our Summer Reads program this summer. The program will run on
the READsquared app and offers something for everyone ages 0 to 99+. While our
Summer Reads Program events will be virtual, we still want everyone to be
able to visit the library safely. For that reason we still have a mask policy
in effect. We are also still offering
curbside delivery to those who can’t or prefer not to come into the building.
The Kick-off for this year’s Summer Reads: Tales and Tails will be Tuesday,
June 1, 2021 with a Drive-Up event on the Cherry Street side of the Library
from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. Pull through the circle drive to pick up your goodie
bags for Babies, Toddlers, and Children up to 12, with all of the information
about this year’s program. While there is no goodie bag for teens and adults, there
will be staff available to assist with sign-up in the READsquared app and to
answer your questions about the Summer Reads program. We hope to see you there.
The May task for the
Adult Reading Challenge is to read a book about a main character that is missing.
This will be about a character that is not physically present but the
emphasis of the book is on finding them. They could have voluntarily or
involuntarily disappeared. Regardless of
the cause or outcome, the book is centered on them and what caused their
disappearance.
Watch your email for
upcoming news about the Adult Reading Challenge newsletter and book club.
Happy Reading!
