November "Roarin' Reads" Blog

 

It is hard to believe , but we are headed into the holiday season and the end of 2024. Here at DPL the end of the year is always a busy time. In October we hosted 21 in house programs, plus the 43rd Annual Quilt Show, and took part in 5 Outreach events outside the library.  That was a lot of programming and event participation!  We hope we saw you at some of the in-Library programs and the outreach events, too.

We will kick-off November by participating in Downtown Decatur’s Día De Los Muertos Celebration on Saturday, November 2nd from 11:00am until 5:00pm. Come see us if you are in the downtown area. This November there will be lots of activities in the Youth Services department and a couple of programs for teens and adults.  Our Friends will host their Holiday Book Fair on Thursday, November 21st from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm  and on Friday, November 22nd from 10:00 am until 4:30 pm.  We would love to see you at any or all of these programs!

This last task for the 2024 Adult Reading Challenge is all treat, no trick!  You are getting it a day early and it is an easy one to boot.  In the 1920s the most popular dog breed was the German Shepherd. For the November task read a book with a German Shepherd as a character in the book.

Don’t forget the deadline to turn in your Reading Log is Wednesday, November 27th by 6:00 pm. We hope you enjoyed reading books inspired by the Roaring Twenties and will sign up for the Adult Reading Challenge again next year.

Happy Reading!
