March "ReAD, WHITE, & BLUE" Blog

 



March has come roaring in this year with wild winds and hot and cold temperatures.  Hopefully, it will soon even out and not be so unpredictable.  Monday, March 13th we are hoping for nice weather , as we have Day in the Park planned at Delano Park from 10:00am until 1:00pm that day.  Come join us for story time under the large oak on 8th Avenue at 10:30m, games, a scavenger hunt, and free books for the kids. If the weather does not cooperate, and it is raining we will hold the story time and other activities that can be done inside in the Youth Services room at DPL. We hope everyone can join us for some fun in one of Decatur’s finest parks.

The theme for this year’s Adult Reading Challenge is all things about the United States. Is there a place you haven’t been but would love to visit in our country? Maybe an event that happened in our country’s past, like one of the World’s Fairs.  Perhaps you would like to have seen huge herds of bison roaming the plains with no roads or cities around.   While you may not be able to visit physically every place you want to see or travel back in time to experience a different way of life, reading allows you to do just that.  The great thing about books is you can go there through another person’s thoughts and observations.  

The clue for March is to read a book that provides you with a clear picture of an American place or event that you have not experienced first-hand.   The place must be one you have not been to but want to see; the event can be a specific event or just a time in the past. The book can be fiction or non-fiction.  Please write what the place or event is on your reading log along with the title and author of the book.

Happy Reading!
