August “ A Reading Season” Blog

 

School starts soon, do you have all the supplies you need? If you answered yes, we hope that means you have a library card for every student in your household. With a DPL library card, you not only have access to physical books, but to all of our online resources as well. E-books and E-Audiobooks on the Libby and hoopla apps, newspaper and magazine articles on NewsBank and Newspaper Archives, and homework help on Homework Alabama. We also provide access to online tutorials, practice tests and more on EBSCOLearning Express. All free with your DPL library card. Don’t start school without it!

And if you’re looking for a quiet spot to study with access to free Wi-Fi, look no farther than Decatur Public Library. Our Wi-Fi is available from the parking lot even when the library is closed. Let us help you get great grades this year.

All of this talk of back to school reminds us that we need a vacation now that Summer Reads is over. The perfect place to take a book vacation is Hawaii, and now is the perfect time to do it. Hawaii was annexed by the United States of America in 1898. Sixty-one years later on August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state in the United States of America. The Adult Reading Challenge August task is to read a book set in Hawaii.

Happy Reading!
