July's "Cast of Characters" Blog

 

The month of July means we are midway finished with Summer Reads. If you have not signed up to participate this year, there is still time. Follow the link to learn more about this year’s program.  You can see the virtual programs on our YouTube channel, even if you are not signed up for the program.

It’s not too late to sign up for the 9th Annual Adult Reading Challenge either. The challenge runs through November 30, 2021 and has multiple levels to make it easier for busy adults to participate.  If you are interested in taking the Challenge, you can find more information at https://mydpl.org/arc/ or call the Marketing and Outreach office at 256-340-5780.

While browsing the National Day calendar, we found that July 24th this year is National Day of the Cowboy. The fourth Saturday in July is set aside to celebrate hardworking cowboys and cowgirls and the contributions they have made to American culture and heritage. Since the cowboy is an iconic character in literature that did not make it on the reading log, the July task is to read a book with a Cowboy/Cowgirl as the main character.

Happy Reading, Pardners!
