June at Decatur Public Library
means two things: Summer Reads and the Readers and Writers Jubilee. Summer Reads through the app- READsquared-has
something for every age, 0 to 99+. The Readers and Writers Jubilee is intended
for adults who love reading and/or writing.
You can learn more about the
online Summer reading challenges for all ages by installing the free
READsquared app on your device and setting up your account. All events for kids are listed in the app and
here on our website. There are digital badges awarded for reading and
completing missions. There are some games on the app too.
The Readers and Writers Jubilee
will be held Saturday, June 8th from 12noon to 5:00pm. There will be 21 authors in the library doing
meet & greets, sitting on panels to answer questions, and teaching classes
for aspiring writers. The featured
speaker this year will be Miranda James, pen name of Dean James, New York Times best selling author of
the Cat in the Stacks Mysteries. The full list of authors and programs can be
found at www.myDPL.org/jubilee .
The June task for the Adult
Reading Challenge is to read a book by one of the authors taking part in this
year’s Readers and Writers Jubilee. Be
sure to come to the Jubilee to meet the authors and maybe get a personal copy
of a book signed.
Happy Reading!
